The real reason Wii U is considered "underpowered"?

Graph shows up fine here. The Wii U is weaker than X1 and PS4, but not sure if how much power it uses means much. As far as power usage, wouldn't we want devices that used less power but still are able to put out the entertainment we want? 

Something I'd really like to know is why Nintendo charges so much for it, when it only has a 32GB non SSD drive in it at max and has some ancient technology. Maybe they should get rid of the GamePad and watch sales fly up?

Sales won't "fly up" that way, not even for most "core" gamers.

Well, if they make another console hopefully they will go for a much more powerful system and leave out things like the game pad.  Of all the time I played the Wii U, I never found that game pad really adding to the game at all.   If it really would have made me spend $180 less on the system overall, that would have been a great deal and they would probably have more systems sold than PS4 right now.
