> Hopefully Nintendo learned its lessons from the Wii U

But... this is in direct contradiction to what you're saying.

The Wii U was essentially a beefier Wii and it failed. It wasn't revolutionary, wasn't much of a new form factor. But it did have beautiful games.

If you look at all the Nintendo consoles that ate up the competition, none of them are "iterations". They're brand-new things. DS, Wii, Switch were all major departures from what came before them.
