Not true at all.
You're confusing "having trouble getting games out in a timely manner" with "under delivers in the games department", which is inferring that the games we HAVE gotten aren't high enough quality. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. NSMBU, Lego City, Pikmin 3, W101, WWHD, SM3DW, and DKCR2, all very high quality titles, all Nintendo published. The eShop's queue of upcoming indie titles just gets longer and longer and longer, many of which are either Wii U/PC only, or straight up Wii U only. And Nintendo's actual retail releases are going to get more frequent as well, now that many of these titles that have had plenty of time in the cooker, are now nearing/reaching completion.
Nintendo obviously had an issue with underestimating their own development management abilities when it came to the lead-up to Wii U's launch. That much is certain, and plain to everyone. If you ask me, they focused too much of their development efforts on 3DS over a certain span of time, and didn't spread that effort out evenly across both consoles. A game like Luigi's Mansion 2, easily could have, and arguably should have, been made and released for Wii U instead. Wii U certainly could have used a high profile title like that (not to mention any title) in early 2013. And while they did manage to push out several high quality releases in the last few months of 2013, it's fairly obvious that they still don't quite have the problem licked in 2014, as they more than obviously pushed DKCR2 back just to have a "big" title released in the first quarter.
But games like Bayonetta 2, X, Yarn Yoshi, etc., have been in development for years, they've had plenty of time to get finished, and thus hopefully will all be seeing release in the months following MK8's launch and E3. E3 should also no doubt reveal several other titles, some to release in 2014, that we have not yet even heard about. But regardless, to refute your claim, while there is a general unhappiness with the rate at which Nintendo has been able to get their own published titles out the door this gen, and of course the diminished third party support (as opposed to launch, when it was healthy), the general consensus of most Wii U owners I've ever talked to, is that they're perfectly happy with the system itself, the controller, and at least some of the games they have bought for it. Usually Nintendo published games (as they tend to be of a fairly high caliber anyway).
On the flip side of that, even if I had had the money to buy a PS4 at launch, I must tell you honestly, there would have been almost nothing at all that I really would have wanted for it, and as I stated previously, there still as yet isn't anything that would really make me want to get the system. So I'd have to say, I think I made the right move in buying a Wii U as my "next gen console of choice", because even through the bumps in the road, there are definitely some great games around the corner for it, indie AND retail.
