What lack of performance? It is a lot more powerful than Wii. You know, you compare the games on their lead platform to something that's just been ported to. Secondly, if you already have years of experience in with the architecture, it's going to better optimised anyway - the two reasons that resulted in the Wii games looking better than the 360 launch games, and 360 games looking way better than PS3 games. 

Are we talking about the same thing? I'm not talking about the WiiU vs. the Wii; I'm exclusively talking about the WiiU vs. its competitive peers. Since the WiiU launched at a competitive disadvantage years later, the Switch should brace for the same result.

As Einstein said, "Insanity is doiung the same thing over and expecting different results." 

Yes, it is much less powerful than PS4 and X1, but the underlying assumption in your comment was (whether you mean it or not), that market would reject Wii U because the system isn't powerful enough - which is proven false by prevous generations consoles selling despite being less powerful.

Nintendo's problem was to focus on the "the more, the better" group of gamers with a product that failed to deliver.

Switch has a competetive advantage, just like Wii and NES. Also, when PS5 and X2 come out sometime in 2018-2019, Switch has a good headstart. Even if it was copied by the competitors, they'll have hard time to match Switch that should have steady stream of games coming.

Yes, it would be insane to repeat whet NES and Wii did and expect different results.
