Is it really Nintendo's fault that the U is selling poorly?

ofcourse its not nintendos fault.
Its the consumers problem that they are not buying things they dont want/need.

Is a company not suppose to create a product what the consumer likes?

The problem is that Nintendo created a product centered around a piece of tech (gamepad) that serves no overwhelming function.  Accessing Inventory and Maps without pausing the game is nice, but there was no gaming problem with pausing the game to access those functions.  So until Nintendo comes up with a way to develop the gamepad beyond those things it will continue to be a gimmick, and thus wont sell.
