Wii u was meant to compete with ps4 and Xbox one but barely had hardware that was a bit faster than ps3 and Xbox 360 which were almost more than a half a decade old. Not to mention public confusion regarding Wii u a lot of people thought Wii u was an expensive addons for the Wii, because of Nintendo’s terrible marketing division.
