<p>As we move closer to the fifth month anniversary of the Wii U (it was released first in North America on November 18th last year) you can&#8217;t help but start to agree with the many retailers out there that the console isn&#8217;t doing as great as it could do.</p>
<p>One retailer to speak their mind more often than others is GameStop, although in their latest chat with GamesIndustry, CEO J. Paul Raines had a bit more of a positive statement to give on the companies view of the Wii U console:</p>
<p><em>“This industry has a lot of cynicism and people love to say stuff isn’t going to work, but we think the Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months, but we think there’s more there when the first-party titles come out. Nintendo’s got a few up their sleeve.”</em></p>
<p>Talk about a double-edged sword eh? But you can&#8217;t help but agree with GameStop, there simply isn&#8217;t enough (or any?) new games which are worth picking up other than LEGO City Undercover, released last week for the struggling console.</p>
<p>Hopefully come E3 we&#8217;ll have a few titles/services to look forward too&#8230;</p>
