I still think the Wii U failed entirely because of the name. Parents, or even worse grandparents, are not going to pay out new console money for something they think the kids already have. If they looked into it at all many would get the impression it's just a big expensive controller for the Wii they already have.
Oh well, Wii U died in a ditch so the awesome Switch could feast on its corpse.
I mean, the game pad as well was a complete failure of a concept.
Even first party Nintendo games struggled to find a compelling use for the feature.
