Nintendo Wii U, possible solutions.

I wonder what would have happened if Nintendo had released in May/June. If you cut out those initial 6 months of drought that destroyed any sort of momentum from the launch. Think about it:

Launch: NintendoLand, Mario, Lego, Rayman (low numbers may not have caused it to be held back), Wario + all the other launch games
Month 1: Pikmin3
Month 2: Wonderful 101
Month 3: Sonic
Month 4: Windwaker
Month 5: Mario 3D World
Month 6: Wii Fit

I doubt we'd have seen the sort of low numbers that have plagued the Wii U if they'd just waited an extra 6 months to launch, and been able to follow the launch through with the sort of strong games that we've received in the latter half of the year.
