WiiU hardware sales seem to have gotten a pretty good boost with the price cut + WW HD bundle.

Probably about 15,000 for the Wii U. Nobody really likes it as was pretty evident with Nintendo announcing they were offering Wii Fit U and Wii Sports basically for free last week in an attempt to stimulate sales, but the people that liked those have moved on to other things. Nintendo needs to come out with a new more powerful console in 2015 with some new more adult slanting core ips because Wii U is in for a tough time and their old series are starting to feel staid as they did in the Gamecube Era.

horrible suggestion.

Unless, they keep supporting the Wii U too.

Look at Sony. They are the first company in the history of video games to be launching two home consoles at the same time: PS4 and PSVITA.TV. Both devices cater to completely different markets and should be able to coexist perfectly. Why can't Nintendo do similar with three pillars, similar to their DS backup plan?

 

Release a system way stronger than the 4BONE in a few years that is expensive and geared towards the core. Have it support off TV play with the gamepad. At the same time, get the Wii U down to a much lower price and market it has the traditional family friendly Nintendo device. A rising tide lifts all boats, and this could net the Wii U better lifetime sales.
