• The Switch is portable
• It gets new games while the Wii U is no longer being supported
• The ports often run better on Switch and have additional content: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft and Pokkén Tournament are great examples of this. 
• The Switch has far better indie support than the Wii U ever had: Enter the Gungeon, Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Steamworld Dig 2, Inside, Hollow Knight, Travis Strikes Back: No More Heroes, Sonic Mania, Snipperclips, Overcooked, Fe, Owlboy, Celeste, etc. 
• It has much better third party support from major developers / publishers: Doom, Wolfenstein 2, Skyrim, Dark Souls: Remastered, Shin Megami Tensei V, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Bayonetta 3, Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2, The World Ends With You: Final Remix, Dragon Quest XI, Project Octopath Traveller, etc. 
• Splatoon 2 is not "almost the same" as the first Splatoon. Salmon Run and Clam Blitz are great additions to the multiplayer content in Splatoon 2. 
• I bought the Switch for €300, not €320. 

Why are you surprised people don't want to buy a console that is no longer being supported? 

 

Wii U not being supported anymore is no reason to not buy a console. I actually wish I was in the position of people who never had a Wii U. This means you can buy a Wii U for a very low price, plus ALL the good games also at a lower price. You have a collection of high quality games to play in a row. Not only are at least 50% of all decent games on Switch also on Wii U for a way lower price (even including DLC you pay less than the Switch versions), it will take months/years before it has a decent line-up. 

I played all those third party games years ago on other consoles and you can play them right now way cheaper on a decent PC. If you buy Nintendo consoles to play games like Wolfenstein and Dark Souls, you bought the wrong platform. Buy a PS4/X1 for those games.

In the Netherlands Switch is still 320 euros without a game included. 

Most of them haven't even been released yet lol...

And that 50% is another big exaggeration. 

Also the Wii U and its games aren't cheap...
