I'm really not sure what Nintendo can do at this point. Drop the price again? Pack in like 3 or 4 games per console? Their options are limited.


Dump the tablet, price collapse to $199.99 and let it all ride on Mario Kart 8 next spring. Bundle the thing with Wii Sports Club + Mario 3D World, shift the marketing towards it being "Wii 2". 

That's pretty much it. They honestly may have to start thinking about a new console, something that's powerful but cheap R&D wise (basically a AMD graphics card in a box). 

They've built the entire system around the tablet, it's not going to be easy for them to just get rid of it. 

I don't think they have a choice any more. The consumers have spoken and they are largely rejecting this idea and it's crippling Nintendo's ability to drop the price. They need to let go of it, no sense in jepordizing your entire console division because you wanted to let 5% of Wii U owners doodle in Miiverse. 

Good thing the library right now is fairly small too, the sooner they do it, they sooner they can patch the firmware and past titles.
