Would probably have been even worse because core gamers now know how great games will look on PS4.

And there still isn't any advertisement out that hits the casuals.

The WiiU actually had a good launch.
But it was hurt by  game cancellations:
2 Star Wars games
bad ports and port choices:
Mass Effect 3 instead of Mass Effect Trilogy
and game delays

Third parties simply left the console out in the cold to let it flounder and die.
But they will suffer the consequences for doing so.

What are these consequences?

I doubt the features would have improved sales really. Having Mario Kart 8 at launch probably would have improved sales but not to the point where it would be say 20 million Wii U units sold by now.

As usual, its never Nintendo's fault.  You say it enough times and it'll eventually comes true, right?
