February 2014: "Mario Kart comes out in two months. Wait for that."

You could be right. If someone looks hard enough, they'll find excuses for why each and every 2013 game couldn't change the fortunes for the Wii U.

You're probably going to reply to this with "case in point" or something along those lines, but seriously, it's plain to see why none of Wii U's 2013 games are big hardware movers; Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 are niche, DKC:TF is one of a surplus of platformers, 3D World is the 4th Mario platformer in 2 years and looks plain uninspired.
That said, you really don't think their combined power will improve Wii U's situation? I find that hard to believe. They're not going to turn it into the Wii, but they'll definitely boosts its sales out of Vita territory.

Thats how I see it, none of these games individually will be huge hardware boosters but theres about 10 quality exclusives and about 10 AAA multiplats (not late ports) coming from Aug-Dec plus a new marketing campaign and plenty of holiday deals/bundles should give it a strong holiday season. A price cut in April alongside Mario Kart 8 will surely cause a big boost then Smash Bros a few months later. I see Wii U holding its own very well for the next few years.

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.

How is 10 exclusives in the span of 5 months waiting until April?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
