Why isn't the WiiU part of the next-gen console wars?

[Ji99saw]

It's a big problem for Nintendo to be seen as irrelevent in the console space by the mainstream market, they really have fallen from the grace of the mainstream casual audience that coveted them during the wii era. Also no remembers the south park episode when cartmen froze himself for a wii, Nintendo was huge in the mainstream at that time idk were all this "they don't compete in the mainstream with ms and sony" bullshit is coming from lol.
