Obviously what they did do was not viable with any significant audience.
Whether Wii U might have been more successful by dumping tablet and selling at lower price is open question.
Or using the same budget to allow stronger CPU/GPU/memory at the same cost to consumer.

It probably would've sold more, but it wouldn't have magically sold like 100 million or even 40-50 million again. 

The Wiimote was bundled with the Wii U in Japan with Wii Party and Wii Fit (don't tell me this SKU was aimed at hardcore gamers) and it still sold like crap. 

Kinect was bundled with the XBox, that damaged the XBox rather than helping it. By around 2011 I think people kinda just got tired of waggling their arms around ... it gets boring and "same ol', same ol'" after the 50000th time and every system had it with the same exact types of games.

Right, and why I wrote "not viable with any significant audience/more succesful" not "not insanely blow-out success". 
And likewise why I didn't suggest Wiimote pack-in as route to success.  That was a flash in the pan fad that was over and no longer unique.
