So 'core' gamers knew what Wii U was, while the rest did not. And the rest is the overwhelming majority.
Pricing is always a bit difficult. But it's not really like the average consumer thinks i don't get enough power for my money. It's more like people wanting to spend an amount of money. See 3DS/Vita. Basically the worse hardware sells way better for an almost equal price point and even for a higher price point.
Or see Wii/360. There was a time when you could get the 360 for little more or even a bit less. Still everyone wanted a Wii.
Basically the problem is, Nintendo never managed to make people want a Wii U.
