It would've been too early for the hybrid concept in 2012, as Tegra X1 was still several years out.
Either give the Wii U a better name and better marketing, or just make a normal console. Nintendo's 8th Gen console didn't need to be as powerful as the base Xbox One, but make it much more capable than the Wii U ended up being. Even with Wii backwards compatibility, don't have a GamePad for new games. And with this console doing better, Switch can be put off until at least 2018. This also means the Switch will have to have higher specs, as the Wii U replacement in this case would have higher specs than the Wii U.
