I disagree, it was the hardest of times. Huge painful software droughts, the crushing disappointment about its online platform and technical specs. I remember being excited the console would do 1080p after a long generation of 720p gaming, excited about those ports of Mass Effect, NFS and Batman but then they turned all to be 720p.

Wii U only got better around Xmas 2014 when it had accumulated enough software to keep you busy until Pokken, Splatoon and Xenoblade.

Really? People who have Wii U's say that all the time, but in my personal experience that was never the case. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers. U, Bayonetta 2, Wind Waker HD, and Metroid Prime were only enough for 2 months max and one extra month of slight interest. No important game released from January to March of 2015 so even with all the games I had it still felt like it wasn't enough for me personally. 

In my experience too many games on the Wii U felt like standard games fron Nintendo which probably made the drought worse. Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart were awesome obviously, but more titles like Splatoon and a innovative platformer like Super Mario Galaxy were needed.

Yeah for me too there were just too many droughts. Even 2014, for example, while it saw awesome games like DKC: TF, Mario Kart 8, Bayo 2, Hyrule Warriors, etc, had only two major games in the first six months of the year. That's just not enough.
