Wii was already losing momentum that's true, after the release of Kinect, Nintendo only ever outsold the XBox 360 like once in NPD. Once that experience was copied/standard across all three consoles, it wasn't a big deal. And the Wii was still getting quite a bit of casual software support at that time, in fact Just Dance was just taking off (which is far bigger than another Metroid or even another 3D Mario for the casual crowd). So I don't buy that excuse.
To be honest though XBox One is an even worse name. Not only was that already what people referred to the original XBox as well (XBox 1), it sounds lesser than the XBox 360.
If you don't know the difference what would you assume is more powerful/better ... a Porsche 300 or a Porsche 1? Bad naming, but MS has mostly gotten away with it. Unfortunately the Wii U has about 4-5 other big problems that the XBox One doesn't have.
