There`s one thing that could really help sales on the next Wii Fit and Just Dance: use the camera on the controller to record you dance moves or exercises and put them online on Miiverse!

But unless somebody else films the dancer, it would be a hindrance this way too, Kinect and PS Eye would be better solutions for this job, and produce more stable videos. Even teens that sometimes film themselves dancing with their smartphones would find the tablet awkward for this job, as it's bigger and designed to be used with two hands.

Not really. Remember that Wii U video before E3 where those two guys were talking and the Wii U gamepad was next to the tv?
Just use the Wii U charge thingie and filming won`t be a problem.

OK, this should solve the problem. Then it will compete on a par with Kinect and Move, for what concerns HW capabilities. This should give it an edge if the potential buyer of the game still has to buy a console, while for those already owning a PS3 or a XB360 without Move or Kinect, the additional cost required to play the game on their current consoles will be a lot lower than buying a new one for it, and obviously for those owning Move or Kinect too, the game won't be a system seller for Wii U. So basically the game can be really a system seller amongst people that don't own a console yet, or that own older than 7th gen ones.

Just Dance and Wii Fit are basically Wii brands. If the next games can evolve with the integration on Miiverse it will provide a lasting and fun experience.
Of, course, as it is only something you can do on Wii U, that alone is a selling factor. Meaning that new buyers won`t choose a different console as they can`t use this funtion anywhere else and old buyers have a good reason to invest in Wii U.

Actually something came to mind while writing this:
If you could put videos on Miiverse, through Youtube, for example, why not make competitions and people could put their videos on miiverse - on a dedicated forum - and ask people to vote?
Last year or two years ago Nintendo ran a competition where you had to make a video to enter and there were a lot of videos from people all over Europe. Some were actually really fun.
