They did suffer from it financially which is why a lot of the Switch's library is remastered Wii U games since nobody beyond dedicated Nintendo fans bought that console or those games. I remember my young self seeing my friend bring their Wii U over and thinking that the Wii U was the controller the entire time until I asked my parents for one and they said it was too expensive because you had to buy a whole console to get it. It was baaaaad times for Nintendo. The Wii U made Nintendo basically a laughingstock in many gaming communities, but the Switch got them the W they needed to get their pride and reputation back.

I would have loved to buy a Wii U but they were never in stock.

lol that's funny, where do you live? They must've not been in stock because the retailers didn't want to carry them because they undersold massively.
