I don't think anyone would argue that haha.

3DS is a well respected system. The whole 3D part was cool but definitely a gimmick (a short-lived tech fad at that time) and not necessary, and caused the price to be too high so they had to save it with that big price drop early on...back when I guess Nintendo was more open to aggressive business strategies. But after that price issue it did well, it was probably just the rise of smart phones with mobile gaming that limited it from achieving Game Boy success levels, but definitely a worthy successor to the DS I think.

Wii U on the other hand was an absolute failure that had to be cut short with a very limited library (though granted a few gems which made their way to Switch) and is easily Nintendo's only big failure other than the Virtual Boy of course which was just a ridiculous experiment and total flop haha.
