Gamerace said: If it's not already happening - fast track a replacement for WiiU. Make it powerful enough to get all PS4/XB1 ports (could be weaker but close enough that any game could be ported). Push Smash Bros and Zelda WiiU back to Wii3 launch. Yeah, I know WiiU owners will hate me but they'll buy Wii3 anyway. Buy out western company with strong internet infrastructure, complimentary but differing Ip's and high quality, polished products. Crytek maybe (get a TimeSplitters game out). Buy Capcom for same reasons. Put classic Nintendo titles on iOS/Android. Look, let's face facts, they are already on there, Nintendo might as well make some money off them. Put GC/Wii games on eshop. Have Retro create a Smash Bros FPS (paintball?) and then maybe Starfox reboot. Get a Pokemon MMO developed. Make the new home console focused on family/friends gameplay and return to accessible controller. Basically a cross between a pro controller and a wiimote/nunchuk. So only one controller is ever needed for any game. Focus on games that mobile CAN'T do and Sony/MS WON'T do. Make the system an ideal home for independents where they can actually make $$. Have all games peer-reviewed (like Amazon/iOS/Google Play) so any casual can determine gold from crap easily. Launch new system with steady flow of games. Keep 3DS as is for now. Have Samus wake up from the bad dream of Other M and have another adventure (with online co-op and multiplayer) Make new Ice Climbers and Balloon Flight games (even if just for eshop). |
The Wii U can already handle those -.-
personally, i wouldn't like it if they abandoned the WiiU. it'd alien all of their core fans (me included) if they did that, just like Sega did. and if the whole thing is unsuccesful and the 3rd parties won't jump on board (which I'm sure they won't), who'd keep the system afloat? they'd kill their home console business.

It's unlikely a new console could get out (with games) prior to 2016. That gives WiiU a four year life. Short, yes but the same as Xbox which by no means hurt 360 sales. And while the Nintendo core would bitch, they'd all buy the new system all the same once Zelda/Mario/Mario Kart/Smash Bros come out (which would be launch for Zelda/Smash Bros if I was president).
I'd argue they have already killed their home business (terrible sales, assuming a loss on each system). I'd not be worried about keeping a couple million (who'd mostly likely upgrade anyway) I'd be worried about regaining 96m Wii had than WiiU currently isn't selling too.
