After looking at the current situation with the Wii U and the upcoming Quality of Life platform being announced just eighteen months after the launch of the former console It seems Nintendo has been working on the QOL platform for a while and it wasn’t ready to show yet, so Nintendo decided to refresh the ageing Wii console and renew the brand with the Wii U.
There has been similar strategies used in the past, Sega revised the Sega Genesis/Megadrive hardware several times to keep their position in the marketplace (the 32X add-on was originally conceived as a whole new console) while they developed the ill-fated Sega Saturn.
So do you think this could be true or can Nintendo handle three separate platforms on the market?
They can't handle 3 devices. I think if Wii U was a stopgap, it wouldn't have had the gamepad. Why needlessly develop that? My opinion is they know it's dead and are moving on.
It "is" a "stopgap," but not for the QoL….thing, nor in the expected way.
The QoL "platform" won't be a "system" as is currently accepted or established, so won't effect Nintendo with the whole "they can't handle three devices." There may be some billed over from QoL to core (Wii Fit like experiences), but hopefully it will be minimal. So no, Wii U is not a stop gap until QoL.
The Wii U IS a "non-traditional" "stop gap" because Nintendo will stick heavily to the currently established and accepted lifecycle or lifespan whereas Sony and Microsoft seem determined to change the norm (which they started/tried to do last generation). Nintendo brings out a new system (approximately) every six years: Sony and Microsoft want to push ten (or more years). The Wii U came out in 2012: the PS4 and XBone in 2013. In 2018, Nintendo can release another console that at least matches the rivals (or possibly SLIGHTLY outpaces them) and still be poised to release YET ANOTHER, relatively equal powered competitor at the same time as Sony and Microsoft. THAT'S why the Wii U is a stop gap.
