The Wii U was a console with a lot of potential, however it never got the love it deserved from the creators, Nintendo. There's not enough games, not enough support. I sold my Wii U to some dude on eBay because I thought the console was really dead...and it is.

The mistake all started with the name (Wii U) which is a bad name because it alienated their target audience. Wii U owners are hardcore Nintendo fans, not the families with young children. Because they don't know the difference between Wii and Wii U. 

Then after...they have the pricey gamepad, which makes it hard for the console to get prices cut despite it being much weaker than the competitors.

Also, Nintendo admited that while the gamepad idea was innovative at first, it didn't live up to the expectations, because of the fast-pace changing technology.

Overall, the Wii U is a mess. A beautiful mess, but still a mess. 

It will go down in history as a failure.

Not a DreamCast like failure, a failure on its own.
