The key part of that is if nintendo learnt from it's mistakes or not. So far there's signs that they haven't learned a damn thing. Just seems like they're trying a different console concept out instead. We'll see. 

The mistakes with Wii U were marketing, paced game output and pricing.

The first one has easily been corrected and the second seems to doing better.  We'll have to wait to see about the 3rd one.

3rd party AAA content hasn't been sales factor (good or bad) for Nintendo consoles in over a decade.   So the lack of it isn't a mistake.  Again, this is not Sony or MS. 

That's because nintendo hasn't really tried to push for 3rd party games in any way even 10 years ago. Barely no 3rd party exclusives or game content. Crappy marketing. Bad attitude towards 3rd party devs. 3rd party games would really help out the console with attracting non-nintendo fans to it because it's first party games were always tailored-made for kids and "everyone". 

It's other mistakes are trying to be different for the sake of being different that doesn't bring in any real value to gaming, weird controller set ups (no standarized controller or button layout), tailoring 90% of it's games and adverts towards kids (it's not the 90's anymore).
