Nintendo just needs to sell as many 3DS's and Wii U's as possible this year. They should be making a good profit of both, now is the time to move them. Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and the declining relevence of DS in the west should help this be a banner year for 3DS. Wii U needs compelling software ASAP. They should be hoping for at least 10 million sold this year.

I doubt the WiiU's been that profitable with such low sales lately. And that trend will continue for a while, at this rate--I don't expect Lego City, Pikmin, or Bayonetta to have a huge, lasting impact on hardware sales. The heavy hitters may well make up the difference come Christmas time, though.

I wouldn't count on Bayonetta 2 coming out this year, so by the time it arrives we'll most likely already have some heavy hitters, like Mario Kart.
