Look, Nintendo is a company. I am a consumer that enjoys their products. I am not an investor and I am not their friend, as such I hold absolutely no responsebility over their actions.
Yes, I can't boycott, bitch and whine if something is seriously wrong with their product, like, say, it's overtly spying on me and needs to be always online. That's outrageous and if microsoft hadn't changed it, the consequence would have been that I would not have bought their product (I didn't anyways, but that's another story). I'm not obligated to one company or another in any case. It's not my job to make sure they run their business right.
(And I write this, being one of the people who genuinely likes the WiiU and thinks it's a great system, so I have no reason to bitch and moan in the first place. It just happens to be a commercial failure. That doesn't take away from my enjoyment of it though.)
Like others have mentioned actions speak louder than words and I think Nintendo got the message that the WiiU largely failed to incite consumer interest.
On a side note, the notion that Nintendo would have listened to Shokio or any other Youtuber for that matter is pretty rediculous anyways.
Aside from that, you might have hated the WiiU from early on and might even be able to find a couple of articles from the time critical of it, but the overwhelming majority did genuinely look forward to the system and was excited for it at time, so there was no 'lying' going on.
