Nintendo never had big titles form developers such as EA, Activison, Take Two on its platforms. So basically every consumer who is attached to those brands will likely never choose a Wii over a PS or an Xbox. It's useless trying to "steal" those gamers to begin with.

What Nintendo has to do is creating an alternative library made of different kinds of hardcore games, different to those genres which are more popular on PS and Xbox. This is an objective they are already trying to achieve on 3DS, the should just try to do the same on WiiU by making collaborations and bulding strong reletionships with a selected circle of developers.

That's a viable path as well.  They don't necessarily have to steal away gamers, I suppose, but instead make the Wii U the "second console" for a lot of people.  I think that's a very real market path.  Make it attractive enough and core gamers will want it.
