Isn't it wild Switch already outsold Wii U 10:1 in less than 7 years lol

I had forgotten Wii U sales were that bad.
Looking back, I can understand why they cut the life cycle of it short, and came out with a new system sooner rather than later.

They knew the hardware design was flawed, and the marketing and price, wouldn't allow them to recover.
So instead of trying to polish a turd, they focused on makeing a new console.

It felt bad as a Wii U owner, that there was "dry spells" with few games.
However as a Switch owner, it feels like everything done by them makes total sense from a business perspective.
And honestly the Switch is a awesome system. The fact that the Switch got basically all the good Wii U games ported over...

Wii U is now one of those "oh yeah, I nearly forgot".

I was one of those WiiU owners, and yeah it was rather "depressing". But the WiiU era brought some new franchises, and games to us.

Mario Kart 8, DK Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Splatoon franchise, Captain Toad, Super Mario Maker, Bayonetta, and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Honestly, I'm glad Nintendo decided to bring Wii U games to the Switch and continue franchises to the Switch as well (even if I don't play or like them all). It was a smart business decision. Hopefully we can see more ports to the Switch from "older" Nintendo consoles. What kind of "older" games would you think would help sell more Switch units?
