What's the point of no return for WiiU?

So we've seen a few of Nintendo's attempts to reignite WiiU fail now, the bundles, the 'price cut', Super Mario 3D World, Zelda remake.

At what point do we say, this thing isn't going to take off or even sustain 5m a year??

When/if Mario kart doesn't do anything?

Smash?

Price cut to $199?

Something else??

I don't think it matters if Nintendo is making money on each system sold (not sure if they are, maybe system + 1..).  Sure, Nintendo would rather have even more sales, but making some money is better than not since the console is already out in the wild.

 

3rd parties have already jumped ship for the most part...  So I think the Wii U's course is what it is regardless of how much it sells for Nintendo.  So I doubt there is a point of no return here.  If anything, it might accelerate a new console coming to market by a year at most.
