I don't think Iwata understood the console market at all, not with the Wii U and not with the NX. If the Nikkei rumors is true, they did not think the Wii U got little third party support because of power but because of the OS. So they will likely release a new console with Android that is at most, half as powerful as the Xbox One.

Power isn't the reason either, Wii U is more powerful than PS3/360 yet it didn't get Metal Gear Rising, Bioshock Infinite, Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, Colonial Marines, Grand Theft Auto V, Lost Planet 3, Tomb Raider, Dead Island: Riptide, Saints Row IV, Devil May Cry, Army of Two , Lightning Returns, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield: Hardline, Metro: Last Light, Need for Speed Rivals, Advanced Warfare, Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Fuse, Grid 2, Remember Me, XCOM Declassified, Madden 25, Madden 2015, FIFA 14, FIFA 15, Lords of Shadow 2, Thief, Stick of Truth, Dark Souls 2, Ground Zeroes, Wolfenstien: New Order, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Diablo III, Destiny, Aliens: Isolation, Borderlands: Pre-Sequel, Evil Within, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor.

All major 3rd party releases in 2013/2014 that came to PS3/360 but not Wii U.

Power was the main reason nobody bought a Wii U on launch so none of these franchises came. Most gamers were expected a console that was at least several times more powerful than the 360/PS3. Instead it was a console on the same power level with issues on several launch titles. The launch titles didn't give a compelling reason for 360/PS3 owners to buy a Wii U so the console bombed. It didn't help that the only third-party exclusive that was to be released on mid 2013 and that every one was interested in was delayed several months and ported to the 360/PS3.
