Id say this is what matters.

Nintendo's amazing games didn't do much for Wii U. While Sony's success is primarily from 3rd party games also on Xbox.

Lets just say better games is subjective given MS's titles do have a following.

The Wii U had a bad marketing scheme and terrible third party support. Seeing that Nintendo made a handheld hybrid, this is going to make the console a more attactive upgrade option from their large DS fanbase (especially if a Pokemon is announced). If that happens the floodgates will open.

When Nintendo makes a console with low end specs, they know support is going to be bad. The Switch has been no exception with modest support but its a cool portable console and now has no competitor in that arena.

Marketing wasn't the issue for Wii U. I genuinely believe people hated the Wii U tablet and it made the console too expensive. Regardless of how good Nintendo games are, people will evidently ignore them if they have a lame/expensive console.
