The Wii U was selling well until Nintendo needed to pull the plug for Switch development. The Wii U is very similar to the Sega Saturn. The Saturn doing well in Japan but Sega pulled the plug because it was only doing well in Japan. 

No it wasnt, all the data you need is right here on this site, Wii U did fucking terrible its entire life in Japan.

Tell me at what point was Wii U doing good in Japan? Every home console or handheld by Nintendo, Sony & Sega outsold it except for Dreamcast & Game Gear.

I stand corrected. IIRC the PS4 took a while to surpass it. I thought it did better in Japan than it actually did.
