No, I don't think people are being too hard on it. And I bet lot of those being hardest on it are Wii fans.
WiiU ditched what made Wii successful in pursuit of some pipe-dream of constant "innovation" that Nintendo set for themselves, all the while being nowhere strong enough for 3rd parties expecting much more power to provide easy porting of next-gen titles.
Unfortunately, it is badly conceived console that failed in both goals Nintendo set for it - it neither managed to attract back casuals, nor it convinced 3rd parties to embrace it, thus potentially bringing in more "core" gamers.
I'm very reluctant to reward Nintendo with my money for such a lackluster vision, but, alas, at the end, next Zelda will be only available there.
