First off, we have not a single idea about what is coming after july, besides smash. so that cant be made yet. 

And those games not selling were not the games fault, it was the WiiU's fault for being a shitty console that no one wanted to buy.

That's absolutely not true, the saying "software sells hardware" still rings true to this very day as platforms live and die by it's library ... 

PS4's victory over it's competitor the X1 was skewed by just a few games even though both largely shared a similar library and it's because of the fact that Sony convinced customers that these very few exclusive games mattered to an extent that it became the tipping of their purchases ...

There's tons of blunders that Nintendo did with WII U software. For instance, why was their Wii franchise largely absent on their new system ? Were SM3DW as good as SMG ? (that goes for SSB, MP8, DKC as well compared to their predecessor's) Why wasn't Zelda ready at the beginning of WII U's launch ? Where was Animal Crossing ? 

Along with WII U's missing third party games, Nintendo itself pulled so much shit off with the WII U ... 

First off, that saying doesnt work all the time. Just look at the Dreamcast. It had an exceptional library for a console that was on sale for one and a half year. Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, NBA 2k, soul calibur, crazy taxi, and more.

Super Smash Bros 4 is widely regarded as better than Brawl and the original. DKCTF  was on par with its predecessors well, the backlash to that game only came because people were pissed retro made another donkey kong instead of doing something else. Captain toad is regarded as an underrated gem. As much as I dont like super mario 3d world, it still got a 93 METACRITIC. Shows that critics and audience alike still liked the game.

As for animal crossing, the decision to make one for the 3DS instead of Wii U was right because Wild World outsold City folk and the original like 3:1.

Zelda had a game come out in 2011, so it was obvious that a 2012 release for next zelda was unreasonable.

But you are right to an extent. Animal crossing amiibo festival, star fox zero, mario party 10, wii party U, mario tennis ultra smash, paper mario color splash, nintendo land and more were underwhelming.

But it cant be argued that the main cause of the failure of WiiU was the console itself. Terrible tablet gimmick controller, teriible and non-existent marketing, terrible name, the list goes on and on.

And sony's victory over microsoft was mostly cause of the drm blunder and higher price of the xbox one. The excusives were just a supporting cause.
