Which one is it?

Were the Wii U owners such a tiny amount of people that providing dual console releases (like Sony does for years into a new console's life for the previous one and Nintendo had no problem with doing so before now) would make little difference to Switch sales?

Or were they a significant enough consumer base that it's worthwhile to continue to develop games on both systems to sell to them?

You can't have it both ways. So sick of people saying in one breath, "lol, almost no one owned a Wii U!" and then in another breath, "there's just too many of them! If Wii U owners weren't forced to upgrade right away, the Switch would've died!"
Without the slightest hint of cognitive dissonance.

...Who says the latter thing? The Wii U was a dead-ass console. It put up absolutely wretched numbers every single month and basically never sold. Nintendo abandoned it because there wasn't anything to lose from doing so. There's a reason every single title, and I MEAN every single title worth a shit the Wii U had has been ported to the Switch or other systems, sans Xenoblade X which has licensing issues.
