I think the price is a slight problem, but Nintendo at least did one thing right with this system. They actually listened to their fans and brought stuff that people have been waiting even decades for. Many of their announcements they made were for stuff people asked for 5+ years on. Wii U's biggest problem was that there weren't that many great games. And the library was very, very shallow.

Imo the Wii U had some great games, but the library was shallow and didn't offer much variety. The problem is that none of these great games did anything new or exciting, to entice consumers (other than Splatoon). The best example of this is Super Mario 3D World, it was an excellent game, but it didn't have the same impact as Super Mario Galaxy or even Super Mario Odyssey. The games really only appealed to hardcore Nintendo fans and did little to pull in other types of consumers.

Though by far the Wii U's biggest problem was its marketing. Even years after the console launched there were tons of people who still thought it was an accessory for the Wii. That was really pitiful, I can't fathom how a company can market their new console so poorly. Hopefully Nintendo learned its lesson from the Wii U.

Marketing aside from the ehh presentation has been on point honestly. Shows the products intended purpose well.
