Nintendo Wii U and PS Vita totally deserve what has become of them

Yes I also do realize Sony got Bloodborne, LBP 3, The Order, Driveclub and Knack as new Ip's and MS got Ryse and Sunset overdrive, while being released one year after Wii U. My second statement, which I bolded for you was about games which are worth buying on Wii U in 2015, so far Splatoon only comes to mind. While the PS4 has Bloodborne, Pcars and the Witcher 3 among a few other games which can be considered good, that's called choise one thing the Wii U has never had during it's lifespan. Another flaw since 3 month droughts where not something rare in it's early years and guess what they still are.

This is where I have an issue with this argument. Bloodborne is a Souls game at heart. It is as different from Dark Souls as Super Mario Galaxy is from Super Mario Sunshine. So the novelty of it being a new IP is moot if everything new about it is incremental and/or stylistic much like a new Legend of Zelda game or a Mario game. LBP 3 is not a new IP by the way. The Order, Knack and Ryse are not quality releases. I'd rather quality releases that are sequels than mediocre new IP's. If we are going to include sketchy quality new IPs then Nintendo released two this year: Codename Steam and Splatoon. 

Nobody is arguing against the other platforms having more diversity and quantity, but that is not the coherent argument you have been making. Everybody knows the Wii U doesn't have good third party support. This isn't something new. Yet neither did the Wii really. And that is a console nobody would say doesn't deserve to succeed (for how good of an idea it was, and in the end it had its own unique library of titles.) 

Bloodborne is entirely different from Dark Souls it plays even more different and way more different than Mario 64 compared to Sunshine or Galaxy. The argument could be made for demon souls and dark souls, but souls and bloodborn play to different from eachother. Codename Steam is a 3ds game last time I checked. I didn't even mention third party games like shadow of mordor, Project cars, Destiny, Dying Light etc. which are all around 80 meta like splatoon and W101 is below that and I still counted it, (since I liked the game as did I with DC). Not good third party support for Wii U? what about bareboned to almost none even compared to Wii and GC, where Ubisoft did some effort and it even got a COD, RE and some nice Japanese exclusives.

On the PS4 the following new IP releses will come this year Bloodborne, The order, Project cars, Dying Light, Until Dawn and probaly a few others I failed to mention. Compared to Splatoon and Mario Maker (which is a level editor for an already existing game) that's also quite bare boned.
