What Went Wrong With the Wii U?

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "These days, the Wii U is mostly a faded memory, a shadow of the dark times before the release of the Switch and Breath of the Wild.

After a strong launch in November of 2012 though, things quickly became unraveled for the Wii U. Slowly but surely, support for the console evaporated and the stream of games became a trickle. But what caused this? What made a once promising console lose its appeal so fast and become Nintendos biggest flop outside of the Virtual Boy?"
