I can't understand the Nintendo doom threads/sentiment

Nintendos cash reserves and incredible IP's currently dont seem to do much good for Wii U do they? I only see 1 more game that can save the Wii U: Mario Kart. Most popular Mario franchise along NSMB but that is already out on the U and wasnt exactly a system seller.

All hopes are on MK8(not Bayonetta, not X, not Donkey Kong not Yoshi, those games dont have the broad appeal of MK), it is the one and only casual/core game that can bring Wii U sales to acceptable levels (aiming at early ps3 sales is very optimistic...).

Actually, Smash Bros is missing from your list. It sold silly numbers on the GameCube (in comparison to userbase). Also a new big Zelda and Metroid etc.

I'm not worried about Wii U because I have a PS4 as well. But at the moment I have to say Wii U is winning my home console game time.

However, you miss one significant other alternative in your evaluation. Nintendo release a new IP that catches the game console buying imagination.
