It sold on the motion gaming fad which was red hot for a few years, no need to over analyze it. Just like people were willing to pay $100 for Guitar Hero for a while and now you couldn't sell a Guitar Hero game for $20. 

Overpriced hardware is overpriced, regardless of if it sells of not. Nintendo probably also caught a break by Sony surprising everyone with the PS3 being $600 initially. That made the Wii look cheap, but if you actually break down what Nintendo was selling, Nintendo's never offered a piece of console hardware as low value for its time as the Wii was. 

It was literally an overclocked $99 system that they charged 2.5x more for because of a controller novelty. 

Again, Comparing to GC was overpriced, compared to competition was not, thats whole point.

Even compared to the competetion it was overpriced. An XBox 360 was $50 more for vastly, vastly better hardware. 

Each version is using a different engine? That has to be expensive.

And vastly bigger problems with that same hardware, for instance red rings of death, Xbox360 was getting masivle broken in first two year on market. So no, it wasn't overpriced to competition, actually affordable price and lower price than competitors is one of reason why 10 of millions casuals buyed Wii.

It doesn't help the NX's case that it's getting a downport of a PS4 version when it features a "different look" and that UE4 still has yet to support the NX in it's latest update.

Well NX still isn't officially revealed not to mention released, so it's not really strange why NX is not listed even it does support UE4 (we have multiple infos saying that NX supporting UE4, and we also know that Tegra X1/X2 that is rumoured that will be in NX support UE4).

 And now to something completely different: A scotsman on a horse.

OK this is getting ridiculous, Nintendo needs to tell ppl what the fck the NX is already, the rumours have gotten way out of hand and any news regarding NX spawn an infinite amount of speculation.
