I think Nintendo needs to think of the support they could have had if Wii U had more horsepower. Sure they can't compete with "technical advancements", but that doesn't mean they have to gimp their hardware's potential. That's like running a race and realizing that there's someone leading and running very fast, so then you think to yourself "oh, he runs so quickly. I'm not even gonna bother trying to run at that speed". I just know that Nintendo can do it, they can design a pretty beefy console even with a gimmick. (there was so much more they could have done with 100$ for the MCM than what they've done). The Gamecube was 199$ at launch, and it competed favorably in graphics with its competitors, now slap that philosophy of at least decent-end graphics onto a console, and then add the gamepad, and you've got roughly the same price Wii U is sitting at right now. 

 

What they really need, is a philosophy change. Sure they can't compete with graphics, but at least try to in order to secure as much support as possible. 

Bolded: I'm 100% sure people have to understand that wii u has all the horsepower it needs.
