I have the same feeling.
I´m still having a lot of fun with the WiiU and I´m sure I´ll still be playing it for at least one year since I have a huge backlog of games to play (and to buy). It´s definetely a good console with a good library. But it has not recieved so much love from Nintendo like, for example, the Gamecube recieved. Nintendo skipped some key franchises from the WiiU (Animal Crossing, Metroid, Fire Emblem).
I´m left with the feeling that Nintendo could have done more, they could have made better advertisement, they could have searched for more partnerships and improve the WiiU library. And I´m afraid that the premature abandonment of development for the system may have hurted the confidence that many Nintendo customers had n the company and its products. Or even the market.
I think that, in the future, the WiiU will be remembered as the Dreamcast is remembered now - for how unnappreciated it was when it was on the market, and will be a very valuable collector´s piece for its exclusive games and acessories.

This is to adress both of you. I understand your feelings. It's a shame that the console sold so bad. If it sold better, Nintendo would keep making games for it. Sadly, dropping it is the only real choice Nintendo had, since even the biggest games couldn't reach out to the masses, unfortunately. It wouldn't make any financial sense to keep making games for it, even though I believe that Nintendo could have been deliviering some more nice ideas.

Exactly. To add with this, game development is a lot bigger than it was in 6th gen. People can't expect nintendo releasing a huge HD metroid, fire emblem or animal crossing on Wii U. These games would be received by Wii U owners with pleasure, but Nintendo wouldn't receive the return for the big investment.
