I do not think they are totally saying it cannot turn around, just that it can not meet the high expectations that you are giving it. Those numbers are not attainable.

They are ripping those numbers apart!

Can it turn it's self around like the 3DS? Maybe. But Japanese like handheld gaming much more and it ended up getting a ton of 3rd party support. Even more so than even the wii got, besides shovelware. It is kind of hard to imagine that the Wii U can get that kind of support from 3rd parties, especially since the Wii 3rd party effort was more or less forced.
We got I bunch of half assed games. Dead Space on rails? Sega threw some things at us, but it did not amount to much.
Just Dance and Mario and Sonic were some of the biggest games back then, but people do not care about change that much. They are perfectly happy buying those games for the Wii. I know that the new Mario and Sonic is only on the Wii U, but they can still get the very high selling JD 2014 on the wii right now.

Nintendo needs to pull out all the stops. Why would they do Wii party or Wii play instead of Wii sports 3?

Mario has done all he can. Time for F-zero, Metroid, etc. Give people a reason to come to Nintendo. Give Donkey kong and the rest of the gang a break! Make some partnerships with some third parties and get some games over.
Yes, people buy Nintendo games for ...Nintendo first party titles, but exclusive third party titles help as well! Bayonetta 2 is nice, but will not help that much at all. They need to be getting some Heavy hitters, or at least getting mentioned on the Multi-plate games. Putting a Nintendo unique spin on games like GTA and others could be enough to get gamers and casuals to try.
But they cannot just keep doing what they are doing. Great! More Nintendo games that are thrown at us. That is good. Keep it up! But like I said, 3DS was not saved on Mario alone. Japan got KH, Etrian Odyssey, Harvest Moon, and various other titles that I cannot read because I am not Japanese.

If they can get that done for the Wii U, then it will be the same turn around. Not on Mario and Zelda alone.

Quick reply.

They already have "Wii Sports 3".
It's called Wii Sports Club & it's a hidden killer app within Wii U.
And Wii Party U was instrumental in shifting Wii U's fortunes in Japan.
The turnaround is happening right now. All these guys are quibbling about is the speed of the turnaround.
