It probably doesn't sell much better and Nintendo loses even more money. It wasn't just the hardware. It was also Nintendo in their approach to 3rd parties was just ancient. With Switch, they changed their entire approach and hired networked people. The man currently in charge of NOA third parties is well-networked and you can bet he's the one who got Overwatch on Switch. A bunch of Western games and convinced Iron Galaxy to work with Retro (his best friends work there). Switch isn't very powerful either but the affordability of the dev kit. Easy to use dev tools and better third-party relations. Better marketing (Wii U marketing was trash and that guy is long gone) and the Wii U name and boxes looking like Wii cases didn't help. Keeping the Wii name was another dagger. Hardware was only one part of the problem.
