Almost 1 year later and I'm responding to this post. The same thing was said about Wii. Oh, I also love to watch people eat crow about Nintendoom.

Do people not understand why the Wii U failed?

Poor communication with consumers that it was a new console. Bad name. Poor marketing. Not attractive hardware for 3rd parties making for poor 3rd party support. Clumsy gimmick. Bad API. Red ocean console. Keeping the Wii brand when the audience for Wii had moved on by then. Expensive dev kits. Nintendo having a distant relationship with 3rd parties. Didn't promote 3rd party games much at all.

 

Switch fixed every single issue listed above.
