Did you expect the Wii U to flop?

that could be true but that doesnt explain why PS4 and One did SO much better than WIi U in comparison and they were a year late to the next gen party. Shouldnt people have been clamoring for a new Wii sysyem?

The PS4 and XBO are very different systems, with very different audiences. Nintendo primarily appeals to a niche; a great, big niche, but a niche still. The other systems, though, appeal to a more mainstream gaming market.

The Wii was something of an anomaly, appealing to the same Niche as previous systems, but also striking into a new created mainstream, non-traditional gaming market. The problem is, Nintendo got outpaced and ultimately left behind in that market because the dynamic is very different from the gaming market

so ninty is relegated to niche status unless they can pull another WIi? that sucks

They squeezed themselves into that particular pigeonhole all on their own, and they could pull themselves out if they wanted to. They won't, of course, but they could.
