In the sense that the Wii U didn't get by the way PS3/X1 did despite their mediocrity throughout their lifecycle. 

I would say considering how much money Sony lost on PS3 blunder and that Series is selling almost like X1 (so the difference between X360 being a high seller and X1 and Series both not being is that PS3 didn't provide as much value for customers as PS4 and PS5) I would say that Sony got the biggest hit for a blunder than Nintendo.

The Switch still benefited a lot from the WiiU. WiiU games did very well on the Switch, providing a good software library from the start without the usual launch drought. The PS3 also provided plenty remasters for the PS4 yet the Switch had a bigger boost from the WiiU library still looking great on Switch.

You could say the Switch benefited a lot from the WiiU selling poorly.

Nintendo also lost money on the WiiU yet in the hundreds on millions while Sony lost Billions on the ps3.
