Why'd the Wii U fail?
-
sales figures were extremely below expectations, marketing was [censored], (why buy a wii u when you have competitors trumping it in every aspect), unforeseen issues with the hardware, just a lot of stuff went into it
-
but also
wii sports baseball on that thing was defo a core memory for me so nintendo had my money there -
i think maybe because people wernt buying it at one point (correct me if im wrong)

I'd say the name was pretty bad, it sounds like an extension of the original Wii and nothing more. It also had a pretty poor library throughout its whole life, comparable to even the 3DS's library at launch (it grew way more later on). I'd argue it just didn't have enough care put into it!
