Probably the best thing for Nintendo, home console wise.

Wii was a fluke that drew in non gamers, those have moved onto smartphones and tablets, got older/more informed and want XBoxes and Playstations now or just plain happy sticking with the Wii for eternity. Now Nintendo are back to GC era hardware sales.

Is much better for them to make games on consoles with larger install bases.

From a consumer POV, most people get one console, maybe two after some years (or a PC). WiiU is a bad option for first or second console as it lacks third party support and No single publsher can stand up to every other third party combined.

Why would the Wii U be a bad 2nd option for home console?  Someone could be playing the PS4 or Xbox One and another person could play with remote play on the Wii U gamepad.  Also, Nintendo owns local multiplayer.  No one else can come close to local multiplayer fun that Nintendo creates.
