@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed Have you heard the phrase "learning from your mistakes?"
Even if the WiiU paved the way for the Switch, that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be a mistake. Nintendo did the work and REALLY looked at their console's shortcomings and came up with a home run. I still put the Switch's success more on Nintendo's hard work at R&D than the failure of a console specifically. It's clear from the get-go that Nintendo wanted a Switch like console back in 2011 but due to hardware limitations and pricing, the WiiU was probably their compromise, unfortunately it just didn't pan out. I suspect even if the WiiU never existed, the idea for the Switch was already swirling around at the minds at Nintendo well before 10 years ago and we would've gotten the Switch anyways when technology and pricing deemed it viable for the market.
