As long as Nintendo stays in the hardware and home console business as exclusive platforms for their first party IPs, it's a victory of sorts. Presumably they're still generating profits while staying in the game.
But it is a little crazy for any platform to have developed such an advantage immediately following its release, only to lose it just as quickly after a sprint to the half way point.
As for the Wii U, there are a lot of major releases everyone has come to expect on Nintendo platforms to boost hardware sales, but at this point, it really is looking like the Wii U will be more like the GC in terms of sales and market relevance.
But Nintendo always does their own thing whether their hardware sells 100m units or 25m units.
