Well, the Vita has a large library of games, is a pretty powerful console for a handheld and is overall traditional with overall no gimmicks. Meanwhile, the Wii U is a strange underpowered console with a gimmick that most people outside of Nintendo fans don't want.

a large library of niche titles + the read touchpad which is more of a gimmick than anything the wiiu has.

 

Actually a large library of games. They were originally ignored because they were also on PS3/PS4 rather than being niche. Niche stuff came when it became clear the niche stuff wasn't sticking.

As for rear touch pad. That doesn't stop it being a traditional style handheld. 99.9% of games didn't use it at all. Rising to 99.99% stripping out launch titles.
