I agree that they're software output has been severely lacking over the past couple years.
What they should have done over the 7th gen was invest some of those $$$$$$ they made into more studios or more acquisitions like Retro and Monolith Soft. They should have expanded their 1st party output.
Western devs especially are largely going to ignore the WiiU. Japanese devs will migrate more and more to handhelds.
These "contracts" with 3rd parties might end up harming Nintendo in the long run. Remember what happened to Other M? HD development is further going to slow down the software output of Nintendo's 1st parties, and I find that to be worrying.
Hopefully their next system doesn't suffer the same issues. The handheld and console departments combining seems to be a step in the right direction.
All major 3rd parties in Japan are onboard the 3DS train now, they should just focus on localizing those games and focus only on the development for WiiU titles.
