There are pretty much over 10 reasons the Wii U failed. Collectively, those lead to its fate. Marketing was obviously an issue but diehard fanboys sometimes claim that it was just marketing (because y'know, the Wii U has the best games!)...just Nintendo couldn't advertise it!
At this point, people need to realize third party > first party. If this wasn't the case the Xbone would've never outsold the Wii U. The fact that Nintendo failed to deliver a proper Animal Crossing, bring Pokemon, get a good Zelda ontime, have a groundbreaking 3D Mario...all hurt it in the long run aswell. They only nailed it with Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon (but it came too late). Smash was on the 3DS which gave people a reason to not buy a Wii U
