I don't think the Switch hurts the WiiU, because at this point there is no way anything could hurt it more than it already is. Every single thing that could go wrong with a console went wrong.
-Confusing name.
-Bad advertisement.
-Weak and expensive hardware that couldn't get cheap fast.
-Tablet controller that did not capture the attention of the market at all.
-Competitors gaining a massive advantage in a short amount of time.
-3rd parties abandoning the system quickly.
-1st parties scarce due to struggles with HD developement.
-The first year droughts, probably the worst software drought ever seen with a modern console.
-Library too similar to the 3DS, the cheaper and more popular Nintendo device.
Zelda BotW coming to the Switch is not hurting the system because at this point, not even that game is incentive enough to keep the WiiU around. Better make the best of the situation and push the Switch with everything they've got.
-They have probably been working on Switch software since 2014, so a first year drought probably won't happen.
-Zelda BotW at launch.
-The Switch concept has already become more popular and widespread than the WiiU's in all its lifespam.
-Unifying both handheld and home console means Nintendo can concentrate in just one device, improving their output.
The Switch is already in a better position than the U. Now it's just a matter of whether Nintendo can play their cards right or not.
