The black model of the Wii U.
The Wii U is Nintendo's eighth-generation successor to their seventh-generation console, the Wii. It is the first eighth-generation home console released. It has sold 13.36 million units as of September 30 2016 worldwide. As you can see, it is a failure because it was discontinued in January 2015 in Brazil/South Africa, in October/November 2016 in USA, Australia, and Europe, and in January 2017 for Japan, but is still available in other countries.
Mario Kart 8 was released on the Wii U on May 29, 2014. There is an off-screen feature so you do not have to stop playing even if someone else starts to watch television.
