They might as well just can the product if they're going to do that and go back to the drawing board.
Really Wii U probably needed to be out in fall 2011 ... Nintendo just let the Wii wither and die the last year, basically they just left their whole console division out to hang.
Basically a wasted year just trying to kick start the 3DS.
The entire transition from DS/Wii to 3DS/Wii U has been poorly executed. They needed to get both the 3DS and Wii U going earlier on.

You are right about the transition from DS/Wii to 3DS/WiiU being poorly executed.
WiiU really should have been released during fall 2011, But I'm sure Nintendo wasn't expecting Wii sales to fall so badly in 2011.

What exactly were they expecting? For basically almost two calendar years (2011 and most of 2012) they've released nothing notable for the Wii except Zelda: Skyward Sword.
I was being kind when I referred to the transition from Wii to Wii U as being "poorly executed".
What's worse is they botched the 3DS launch on top of that, so it's not like you can even say "well at least they ignored the Wii to get the 3DS done right".
