Is now the worst time to be a Nintendo console owner?

You guys are also picking games from after the Wii's third year.

Xenoblade and Sin & Punishment 2? Didn't come out in the Wii's first three years.

Rose colored glasses there. The Wii U's lineup through it's first three years matches up to the Wii very well. If we're looking at the core notable Nintendo releases, leaving off mini-game compilations:

Wii U 2012-2015: Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Maker, Xenoblade X, Bayonetta 1/2, Fatal Frame V, Super Smash Bros. U, Yoshi's Wooly World, Star Fox Zero, Hyrule Warriors, Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong Country: TF, Captain Toad, Devil's Third, NES Remix, NSMBU + NSLU.

Wii 2006-2009: Zelda: TP, Super Paper Mario, Excite Truck, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Endless Ocean, Battallion Wars 2, Mario Strikers, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, NSMB, Link's Crossbow Training, Pokemon Battle Rev, Punch-Out!, Excitebots.

Even third party content in this time, even though the Wii U has been shut out ... I'd say Zombi U, Rayman Legends, COD: BLOPS 2, Batman Arkham City, ACIV, Deux Ex, NFS, quality wise fares about as well as the top Wii 3rd party titles for that period ... Guitar Hero 3, No More Heroes, RE4 Wii Edition, Little King Story, etc.

Even party games, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, Wario Ware, Mario Party, Mario & Sonic, Wii Music ... ok, but Wii U has Nintendo Land, Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Party U, Mario & Sonic, Animal Crossing Amiibo Party, Game & Wario. So not exactly a huge discrepancy there either. If that's the type of game you like there's plenty of it on Wii U. 

Ok well you're missing a ton of wii games, and the games you did list for Wii U are all ports except for Zombi U which is actually not gonna be for long.  I guess you could have mentioned W101 or shovel knight but i have to stretch my mind to come up with anything besides that and wii has a huge list.  The Wii U did have some port support early on and a couple games were tried exclusively, some of them bailed early on like Rayman.  That all dried up pretty quickly, now you're left with random casual game ports and 1st party.  Also given how bad 3rd party support is for Wii U you might as well be comparing it to the end of the Wii, because it isn't gonna get much better before the end of it's life.
