Power was the least of the Wii U's concerns. The major problems were that

1) Nintendo has never been good at gathering third party support, and
2) The Wii U's unique gamepad display made it hard for third party developers to develop for.

The result is that no one besides Nintendo developed for it and you can't sell a console with one studio alone. Power was never a significant issue; it's something forum nerds like us debate over, but is basically immaterial for the rest of the gaming world.

power is the reason the games wont get released. Already explained.

No it isn't. The PS3/360 still get 3rd party games and the Wii U is more powerful than them so clearly power isn't what stops it from getting 3rd party support. It's more to do with how different it is to the other consoles, and most importantly the fact that very few people actually buy them when they are made.

Yes it is, or at least one of the main ones. Third parties aren't completely stupid, so they're not going to look at the Wii U and think, yeah, this is what our audience wants, this'll be their prefered platform for our big budget action game which is all about graphics and cinematics. Equally no fan of said games is going to look at the Wii U and be like, yeah this souped up 360 is going be my main console for the next 5 years and my console of choice for games which are all about graphics and scale.
