I'm glad it failed because Nintendo learned all the wrong lessons from the success of the Wii and thought they could simply rehash the same lighning in a bottle sales bonanza and milk it for all its worth. The Wii U was something that nobody wanted... it wasn't a console that could compete with XB1/PS4 for the "core" gaming market, and it offered nothing new or innovated for the expanded / casual audience, who by 2012 were way over the Wii and had migrated to tablets and smartphones. It tried to be a jack of all trades console / tablet hybrid but failed terribly.
The NS is what the Wii U should have been, and seems to be much more focused on its strengths, which is playing traditional games on the go as opposed to being a tablet / motion controlled hybrid that does neither well.
