I disagree, they could've came up with a traditional console on par with Neo-Scorpio, a true 9th gen system not held back by a weaker version. The best version of multiplat games with exclusive features not possible on PS4/XB1 and even exclusive games.
Combine that with a better online service, a subscription scheme (a la PS+ for example) and of course, their own software and that would have a chance of taking away gamers from Sony and MS, but they're just too conservative to sell hardware at a loss.

They sold Wii U at a loss.

That's correct, but the Wii U is a poorly conceived platform on so many levels, being sold at a slight loss was not the main factor for its failure. It's possible that in the situation I described, the inital loss would be greater.
