The Xbox 360 has games people want to play. The Wii U is currently lacking in that department. Every major game console for ~10 years has had this issue, and they never seem to learn, and it is actually really relatable in the HN tetchy startup side of things : if you don't have a killer app, you won't drive adoption. Like how Halo is the Xbox killer app, Mario is the Wii killer app, etc. Same with the 3ds and Pokemon. If you want a new console launch to look spectacular, launch it with a platform exclusive of your killer franchise. If the Wii U, for example, launched with the next Zelda game on release, it would have probably crushed Wii sales.
