As a Nintendo fan, I view these Wii U sales as good news, for a few reasons:
1. Price drop almost has to be coming soon now, at which point I might actually buy a Wii U.
2. Iwata has to be gone soon after this. Sorry Iwata, I enjoyed your quirky banana staring ways, but you just don't have what it takes to be running Nintendo's business side anymore. time for him to go the way of Ken Kutaragi.
3. May force Nintendo to go back to the Wii route and start appealing to a mass market audience again. After all, it was only after Nintendo hit dire straights with the Gamecube that they were essentially forced to take this route. Hopefully this will snap them out of their stubbornness and wake them up once again. Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before you can start to take the climb to the top.

The whole thing with the Wiimote was it was successful because no one else was really doing motion gaming. No everyone has it. It looks the PS4 controller is built for some kind of camera/motion interface and the 720 will come bundled with Kinect 2. These types of experiences are no longer unique.
The whole "blue ocean" thing doesn't work in a red ocean.
I agree though I think Iwata is done, especially if Nintendo is forced to eat heavy losses to discount the Wii U.
