Why does everyone say the VITA failed when...

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.

 

The thing is though the rear touchpad on the Vita can be largely ignored while the gamepad is the central thing to the Wii U. That one can't really be ignored in the same way.
