Wii-like success and HW-parity in one same console?

Unlikely. There's a stigma against Nintendo in the West for some reason. 

In other words, parity is, regardless, not a winning factor for Nintendo.

But then, wouldn't parity change the attitude of certain companies like Epic, which demand certain HW specs to fit their own agendas?

Perhaps it would if it happened several years ago, so before the Wii. But now there's an established fanbase and perception towards Nintendo and their systems which most developers cannot just overlook, even if the Wii U was more powerful than the other systems (see GameCube).
