Thats not what he is saying at all. Wii and DS were vastly different in terms of hardware and software. Touch controls vs motion controls, Nintendogs/Brain Training/Pokemon vs Wii Sports/Wii Fit/Smash Bros, large graphical leap with DS primarily 2D and Wii primarily 3D. Some games like Mario Kart and 2D Mario were similar but compare Mario 64 DS vs Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword vs Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks.
Now lets look at 3DS vs Wii U, both have motion controls, both have touch screens, both can easily handle nice looking 3D graphics and the big hitters on both are very similar to the point that the average person would think the Wii U versions are merely HD upgrades. Compare 3D Land vs 3D World, Ocarina of Time 3D vs Wind Waker HD, DKC Returns 3D vs DKC Tropical Freeze, NSMB2 vs NSMBU, Mario Kart 7 vs Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros 3DS vs Smash Bros Wii U plus 3DS has other big hitters like Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon X/Y, Link Between Worlds and a ton of Japanese 3rd party support while also being about half the price.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
