But thats point with Wii U, they were too relaxed with Wii success, and they thought Wii U will sell despite huge number of mistakes and without real effort just if put Wii name on it, and they admit thes, Wii U was slap of reality for them.

You can belive what you want, but like I wrote, its very unrealistic to expect that after Wii U failed (their biggest faile in history),  Nintendo, multi bilion company that in their long histor had only two years with loss and neer had any debt, will act like nothing happened and that will not work much harder in order that next console be much more appeling product.

They'll work harder, but working harder doesn't gauruntee better sales.

Sega worked much harder with the Dreamcast, Nintendo worked hard with the GameCube after N64 too ... both still failed and Dreamcast didn't in the end sell any better than the Saturn, and Gamecube declined considerably from N64. 

This isn't solely a merit based/effort based industry. Nintendo fixing some mistakes doesn't wow people, they have to bring something to the table considerably different (and different with actual value/appeal to the consumer) or improved from Sony/MS are already doing. 

Quite frankly NX is coming into a much more competetive market than the Wii U was, Wii U only had to deal with aging PS3/360, NX is coming right into the mid-cycle of the PS4/XB1 when both console's are at their peak strength, and Scorpio/Neo are also launching, and NX does not have the benefit of a Christmas launch either. 

If you work hard and actually correct some past mistakes on new product, its logical to expect that new product will bigger success than product that was made without real effort and with big number of huge mistakes, its common sense.

Like I wrote, Wii U had high price, terrible and misunderstood marketing, week launch and 1st year lineup, software drought, not appealing gamepad...you don't believe that NX with great and strong marketing, great and strong launch lineup, affordable price, solid gimmick...will not sell better than Wii U!?

 

Sega situation was nowhere similar to Nintendo situation, yes Nintendo worked hard with GC and GC failed, and after GC they worked hard and they changed the strategy and we got best selling Nintendo console ever. Now we have easily worst selling Nintendo console ever, we can expect similar effor like Wii had.

Its not just point to wow people, its also point to have appeling product, Wii U wasnt appeling at all (high price, terrible and misunderstood marketing, week launch titles and software drought, not appealing gamepad...) and beacuse of that Wii U bouth basicly only hard core Nintendo fans. But offcourse that will Nintendo bring something difrent too, they sevearal times said "new concept of gaming".

PS/Xbox console are way too in almost evre way including games, Nintendo offers totaly difrent kind of games and they will also have something newa and difrent that PS/Xb consoles.
