The Wii U was plagued with slow consumer adoption, lack of strong launch titles, marketing reasons and third party support and has been considered to be one of Nintendo's worst selling game consoles. The Wii U also offers an online service called the Nintendo Network and previously featured an integrated social networking service called Miiverse. Due to this, all Sonic the Hedgehog games released on the Wii are also playable on the Wii U (although the Wii U does not support GameCube controllers for the Wii games that were compatible with it on the original console).
