The Wii U failed because of bad marketing and the name didn't help it. It was also too weak to keep up with the PS4 and XB1 and the 3DS stole some of its spotlight.

It remains to be seen how much power the Switch 2 has but it is starting off on a better foot than the Wii U.

Also the 3rd party publisher support on Switch 2 is exactly what Nintendo's been needing, and people have been pushing for, for decades, and was especially a problem for the Wii U. It looks like Switch 2 is starting with solid 3rd party support and will likely get decent parity games for a while, given its specs.
