Bear in mind that the majority of the Wii U's best-selling games support local co-op multiplayer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_U_video_games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_U_vide... But one of the major points of the article is that the Wii Remote made local multiplayer gaming enticing to casual gamers, and the Wii U Gamepad does not. That's fair. But I'm not convinced that any Wii title besides Wii Sports actually achieved the goal that the author claims to characterize the best Wii games generally. For example, the best-selling Wii game was Mario Kart 8, but my impression is that few gamers, casual or otherwise, found the motion controls appealing after the initial novelty had faded. And there's a strong sense among many Nintendo observers that while Wii Sports was a brilliant game, it was also a dead end.
