Waiting until April 2014 to make a strong push is way too late IMO, people will already have made up their mind that this is a lame duck console. That perception gets stronger every month actually, the more Nintendo just sits there and twiddles their thumbs doing nothing but waiting for Mario 3D World in December. 

Nintendo's thumb-twiddling for the first half of 2013 already caused heavy damage, very bad management that was.

To be honest I don't think this situation is really all that suspensful, really what remains to be seen is whether the Wii U is more like the GameCube (21-23 million sold-ish) or N64 (33-35 million sold-ish). Right now its selling below both of them.

To go beyond that they need something huge outside of Mario/Mario Kart/Smash/Zelda IMO, like the Wii had with Wii Sports/Wii Fit, but it has to be something new, and I don't think it can be aimed at casuals because that market is moving away from consoles.
