Wii brought about a sharp rise in video game entertainment. Eventually it had to fall. And WiiU came during that next era in my opinion.
Anyone who enjoyed the WiiU knows that the games were fine. If people were really interested in gaming that would have gotten through despite the name, the clunkiness of the gamepad, the price, the look, whatever.
At the end of the day if the system failed people can feel justified in pointing to any aspect and saying "that's it!" For all we know the carry-over of the Wii-branding may have helped if the era was as fruitful as the Wii era. Maybe Nintendo Land's use of the gamepad could have brought about a youtube type sensation similar to the Wii had motion gaming not already saturated that medium.
It's hard to say really, but saying that an entire system failed because of price and/or naming is over-simplified(even if it was right), and a bit of a sheepish analysis.
