I guess that it is a matter of degree. Like you said the N64 had a much larger base (at least in North America) but I guess that you are right that the Wii U would have had the same impact on the lives of many young Nintendo fans who grew up in that era just on a slightly smaller scale. Whether it sold 13 million or 33 million, there are going to be lots of people who had very positive experiences and great memories with either console.
And I want to be clear, I loved the Wii U. It was a far better console than the Wii, in my opinion, and its exclusives were some of the best games of the generation. I have had a lot of fun with mine and I put it on par with the N64 in terms of being a great multiplayer party machine. It is sad that its best games (including BotW) didn't remain as exclusives as I feel that history is going to whitewash the Wii U with the Switch and the Wii U won't get credited with the really amazing gaming experiences that people had with it. It did truly have some brilliant games.
