Can Nintendo wait until August to release WiiU games?

Well, it kind of does make sense if they intend to gather their resources and relaunch the console in every way possible, including a new advertising strategy and focus. That needs to be done in conjunction with games that will turn heads. At this point, I think a relaunch is better than a slow trickle of games, which would do very little to change the instilled mindset that the Wii U has nothing to play.

If Nintendo wants to turn things around then they're really going to have to go all-out. This fall season might be do-or-die for the Wii U.

Wouldn't leaving the Wii U out on one-leg (so to say) also be a bad decision? As of now, it's just a money magnet for them.

Sure, and it's unfortunate that those most affected are probably Nintendo's most loyal fans, but they've got to try to change people's minds about the Wii U while they still can, before it gets the "failure" label among the general public.

The Wii U is wounded; they can keep putting bandaids over the wound, which is probably ultimately futile, or they can go ahead with a risky operation that might turn things around.  

Now, had they been releasing games all along, that would be another matter entirely.  I believe they screwed up big time by not throwing out everything they could BEFORE the PS4/XO hype started.  They should have loaded the beginning of this year with games and worked on building an installed base and establishing positive buzz about the console.  It's too late for that now, though.
