What Nintendo needs is to release a new awesome peripheral (like the Wii Fit board was) , pronto.

That ship has sailed. What they need to focus on first is the core. It's become pretty obvious that this console won't have mass market appeal like the Wii did.

Says who? they can still gather the mass appeal if they have a catchy peripheral + software. I will concede that the Wii U gamepad will NEVER have that appeal BY ITSELF (now matter how good software is developed for it). But if they can create a NEW thing like the balance board it will be 10 times cheaper than scratching Wii U and making a whole new console. And I'm sorry to tell you but the "core" of Nintendo fans is not large enough (as Wii U sales have shown) and expecting that small audience to carry the Wii U on its back and expand the installed-base to a *competitive position* is folly. 

Wii Dildo w/Wii Sex?

These ideas at some point reach a point where people know you're just throwing plastic into a box.

It's not easy to come up with ideas with that kind of mass market appeal especially now that the casusal audience is spending all their money on phones/tablets.
