The Wii U is the only console to ever baffle me

everything bolded was ok, the games were great.

The games were indeed great, but they weren't what the mainstream gamer wanted. And while I'm perfectly happy with it, the power level did damage its reputation and prevent it from getting PS4/Xbone multiplats.

The power level allows it to receive any current gen game, thus, it's not the reason why multiplats aren't coming (read the unprofessional third parties above.)

You would need to re-work it though, to run with Wii U's smaller RAM and less powerful processor. It makes porting harder than it could have been. 

I am sure some third parties would have snubbed it even if it was basically a PS4, but others would have at least given it vanilla ports like what Wii U got from PS3/360 early on.
