To each their opinion but the wii u is nothing like any other Nintendo console.
If pushed one can say that they were bad implementations regarding both the N64 and the wii u.
The N64 was badly implemented in every way. A stupid game cartridge that cost developers a ton of money against a cheap to manufacture CD. Many 3rd parties couldn't be bothered because of this.
A CPU and co-processor that pretty much defeated the purpose of each other giving devs a big headache.
However Nintendo software and some 3rd parties kept it alive. It was slaughtered by the PS in sales and sheer number of games.
The wii u, a gamepad that drove up the cost of the system whereas keeping the hardware almost last gen. A gamepad that I am yet to see the true value of. Again, many 3rd parties couldn't be bothered because of this.
The wii got lucky. The consumer decided motion control was worth buying. They could just as easily gone the other way.
I thought the N64 sold 40m. I was wrong.
