When will Nintendo wake up to the Wii U issues?

Things aren't going to change. Nintendo is powerless at this point. They can't lower the price, they can't release a plethora of games, they cant stop the PS4/720 hype.

It doesn't matter if they have "8 billion in the bank." Nintendo can't fight the fight of 2006. You have to be current or you die. It's pretty standard in the marketplace. Something nintendo is learning the hard way over the past 4yrs.

You certainly don't need to be technologically current to survive or even thrive; Wii, DS vs PSP, and 3DS vs ita prove this.

You need to have a killer hook. People didn't buy the Wii because the chipset was weak, they bought despite the chip, because they wanted to experience the whole hulabaloo about motion gaming, which was new and interesting for 2006. 

The Wii U doesn't elicit the same response, especially from the casual style gaming friends I have (and I have a few for sure), they were all trying to hunt down Wiis 6 years ago, today none of them cares about Wii U. 

That's the danger in the approach Nintendo took, if you are goin to do this, then your controller HAS to be the greatest things since sliced bread. It's not and they are in a lot of trouble because they bet the farm on the controller IMO. 

No, you don't.  Every console thus far except for the Wii has had a standard controller, and the only way they change is moving the placement of the sticks and adding a couple new buttons each gen.  It doesn't seem fair to criticize Nintendo for not busting down the door of creatviity and blowing us all away two generations in a row, while at the same time with the competition being business as usual.
