Lets face it: 3DS is Wii U's worst enemy

The problem is that the 3DS offers a cheap alternative to the Wii U.
Their games are too similar, so people get a 3DS to scratch their Nintendo itch and ignore Wii U.

If that is the case, then why isn't the market data supporting it?

Noone can point to any cannibalization between the handhelds and consoles. You people are just applying pseudo-reasoning while ignoring data.

The data does support it; 3DS is cheaper, has similar games, and is selling more.

Gameboy was cheaper than the SNES, had similar games, and was selling more.

PSP was cheaper than the PS3, had similar games, and for a while, was selling more.

If there was competition between the platforms, we would see 3DS shrink proportionally to Wii U sales  when that released. But it doesn't, it just chugs along like nothing happened.
