If you have no idea what the WiiU is, you would most likely assume it's an add-on for the Wii. WiiMotion+, WiiFit, WiiU etc. Even today it still isn't clear that WiiU is a new console, especially to the your Mum and Grandad who play the Wii. When the WiiU was first announced, some people I know who work in retail had customers asking what the WiiU is or assuming it was an add-on. But my overall point is, regardless if people are informed on the console or not, it still didn't sell well despite all the marketing behind it. Assume everyone knew it was a new console, it doesn't change the fact it hasn't sold well. So far, Hitman Absolution has sold more than the WiiU.
No, it's not, considering Nintendo tried to make it as clear as possible that it was a new console. You just don't understand how stupid it is to say that it was going to be an add-on to the Wii.
Also, it's Wii U, not WiiU.

Failing would be the console being out for 1 year+ and it still not selling well. It's been out for nearly 5 months. 5 MONTHS.
