True and Nintendo really could have done something similar with the Wii U, except the HD development apparently caught them off guard and they really thought their meager offerings and limited 3rd party support (mostly late ports) would sustain the gaming audience.
I honestly think they probably should have held the system back until Spring of 2013, that way they could have fine tuned the hardware, have a shorter window between their releases and probably should have had a team remaster some of the late Wii releases like your Xenoblade Chronicles, Pandora's Tower and the Japan only releases of Fatal Fram IV or the remake of Fatal Frame 2 ready for either eShop purchase at a reduced price or full on retail releases.
The rush to get it out on the market before the PS4 and Xbox One but without the games to make it a worthwhile purchase (despite as much as I personally think ZombiU is underrated) until the next year when Super Mario 3D World dropped alongside Wind Waker HD. Nintendo would have taken an initial loss for the end of 2012 but the stronger line up early on would have probably helped the Wii U brand.

The system was already DOA in 2012, they couldn't delay it any further. They should have gone with PS4 specs instead of the Gamepad. And they will make the same mistake with the NX console for certain. I don't know who had the idea of making wimpy console but he should be fired.

Nintendo has an entirely different design mentality from Sony and MS with there consoles focusing on more of the needs of Japan and making theirconsole low consumption. Nintendo, like MS thought that the perpheral would be enough to offset the price, forgetting that the Wiimote on the other hand was cheap. Nintendo should've learned there lesson from the 3D feature of the 3ds.
At the same time, there isn't a real point for them to go for even xb1esque power since their 3rd party is already dismal.

lol, what peripheral? and the gamepad always costed far less than kinect.
"there isn't a real point for them to go for even xb1esque power"
of course not, the wii u sucessor will be far more powerfull than x1.
