Since not many people noticed the Wii U is a totally new Nintendo console, if I were Nintendo I would prepare a total re-launch this fall to fight the arrival of the next-gen consoles. I would re-brand the console "Nintendo Ultra" redesign it with an internal HDD, optical audio output, 5.1 dolby/DTS support and ethernet, USB 3.0. I would make a serious effort and investment to make the Nintendo Network faster and better in every way. I would also make sure to have a new 3D Mario for the re-launch. The prices would stay the same, $300 and $350, HDD capacity matching the ones offered by the competition. I would phase out Wii U, and re-brand and re-release the existing Wii U library as Nintendo Ultra games. It seems desperate, but I think it's better than cutting the prices. Let's face it, the Wii U has a serious branding and positioning problem, cutting the price won't help it and some new games won't be enough in the long run.

did anything like that drastic ever happen in the video game industry before?

Ps3 slim would be the only thing close. However, Ps3 wasn't as bad off as the Wii U is.

but they didnt rebrand the console with the ps3 slim. they gave it a new model gave it a strong software release schedule and a new marketing campaign. its no where near drastic mutanclown suggested
