My Wii U estimation(near future, instal base, short)...

Lack of 3rd party support and a software drought the first year aren't considered mistakes? The Wii U so far can be defined as a massive mistake. Seriously, Nintendo came into this generation with a lackluster effort expecting the Wii U to sell, due of their astounding success with the Wii and they got burned pretty badly.

You are now jumping to conclusion involving my statement, bravo/congratulations...

3rd party support on Wii U is not ideal at all and yet it is not as bad as lets say Nintendo 64 and software drought was because Nintendo rushed and they decided to give a third party the spotlight on Wii U and what 3rd party did? They failed to use the enourmous chance to enstablish them self, while some major 3rd party publishers aren't supporting or have left then you have Ubisoft and Activision that are having a duopoly when comes to 3rd party games thus Wii U instal base will likely buy their games.

Mistakes that have been on Wii U are nowhere as massive as what has been done on Gamecube... lol

Nintendo panicked and got what they deserved... You need to make mistakes to learn on them.

2014 looks like a nice year and all, but they still need a lot more.

You ask for "a lot more" and yet that "a lot more" is in 2014 compared to 2013...

Can the Wii U be successful? It can be... but its been a pretty bad effort so far.

First year for Wii U was a fail, second year will be the success. Look at PlayStation 3, was all doom and gloom for people yet Sony turned it around and Wii U has less issues than PlayStation 3 so Wii U being successful should be easy for Nintendo.

You can't expect everything to be perfect from any company... There will be failures here and there, same for the success.
