If Software sells Hardware why Wii U flopped

[Shiken]

I know someone who only learned a year ago that his WiiU he got as a gift and never opened was an actual console, and not a Wii add on. He literally though Nintendo went from the Wii to the Switch with nothing in between...and even had a WiiU in his possession.

There are multiple reasons for the failure of the WiiU...but the stories of people not even knowing what it really was are quite true it seems.
