It appears that you missed the point. It's painfully obvious that Nintendo used the WiiU as a stepping stone to the Switch.


It seems obvious but the functionality was different

Dual screen gaming versus the switch which is console gaming anywhere anytime

I suspect the feedback they got from Wii U put them on the path to the switch. I only got a Wii U a couple of years ago and the first thing that stuck out was I could play wind waker downstairs without occupying the tv and ignoring my wife or in bed, but the range limitation was sometimes quite annoying

The switch takes that concept and goes balls to the wall. The switch is easily my favorite console of the past 15 years

They did plenty of advertising for the WiiU about how you could transfer the main display to the game pad and free up the TV for someone else to use. The idea was definitely there even with the WiiU to have the ability to detach your console gaming experience from the TV.
