As much as I love Nintendo, it's hard to deem the Wii U a success by any criteria. Comparing it to contemporary rivals, or past consoles leaves the Wii U behind. It's losing money for Nintendo. So, how can it be called a success?
That being said, one failed console is not going to be the end of Nintendo. Quite often, success follows failure. Sony learned a lot from the mistakes of the PS3, and managed to make the PS4 a success, at least initially. Microsoft used the failure that was the original X-Box as a springboard to becoming a major player in the gaming industry. The failure of the Gamecube drove Nintendo to the Wii and DS lines.
Hopefully, this will lead Nintendo to reevaluate what went wrong and use that knowledge to either turn the Wii U situation around, or use the knowledge to be more successful in the next cycle.
