I don't think there's really much they can still do. Barely 3 million consoles sold, most publishers giving it limited to no support, first party games coming out to compete with newer consoles. Nintendo is just not popular anymore, as it once was. Teens, kids, young people most go for Xbox or Playstation, it's really that simple. Nintendo had its run with the Wii and the casual audience, now that they lost touch with it, not many see anything valuable in the Wii U.

Wii U console is expensive, complicated, lacks content, is outdated, it's not popular. How the rest of the consoles will do, is still up in the air. They could fail as well. But what's clear to me is that the Wii U is a failure and there's probably nothing that can be done to revert this. Nintendo will struggle a lot. Specially in Japan, they will have big troubles there as there's absolutely NO support at all for the console and it has reached levels that not even the most pessimistic people would have predicted. I guess taht's why Iwata became CEO of NoA, there's risk there will be no more business for him in the home console segment in Japan in the next copule of years, PS4 will engulf everything that 3DS or Vita aren't getting.
