No, I'm saying exactly the opposite. The switch has less on it than the Wii.  I just don't think less is enough to make it a successful console.  

What you're saying still lacks explanation, and if you do think the Switch reveal was good then I really can't understand why you're shocked that a good looking product isn't getting mass hate.

I thought I explained it pretty well.  Hardcore console gamers thought the Wii was the worst threat to mainstream gaming since the Atari 2600's ET.  For all the reasons I stated before, incredibly profitable mini-game compilations, exercise games, a looming Sony bankruptcy, a looming Microsoft exiting the console industry.  

Wii U was the immediate successor to the Wii and even kept part of the originals name.  It was the perfect target for the hatred and rage gamers felt at the time.  

All of that was explained in my initial post in longer form....
