Why not a powerful and innovative console

Probably because it would cost a metric ton to make. Can you imagine how much it would cost to make the Wii U if it was on par with the PS4 in terms of specs AND had the gamepad as its controller?

aren't the wii u sold at 300 dollars at launch if it was more powerfull it could be sold at 400-450 dollars and it will encourage 3rd party to support it and then it will attract both hardcore gamers who like graphics and casuals who want innovative things.

Wii U is selling poorly at $300, with a $400+ price tag it would be lucky to sell 20k per week.

It would not encourage 3rd parties, multiplat games very rarely sell well on Nintendo consoles, its been that way for going on 20 years now. Increasing power wont all of a sudden cause 3rd parties to jump on board or the PS/Xbox crowd to jump on board either.

Ur scenario is basically Wii U, trying to chase down both hardcore and casual gamers but failing hard at both, only this is worse because the price is $100-150 more expensive.
