What if the Wii U was as powerful as the PS4?

No, if the Wii U was as powerful as PS4 it would not help.

All of that power, plus the GamePad, would make it very expensive - maybe $600 - hurting sales.
Plus, there would still be zero advertising from Nintendo.
Plus, Iwata would still get discouraged and switch to making quality of life products.
