Releasing their games on other consoles however is probably going through some stockholders minds right about now. Nintendo needs a good install base to sell their games, and Wii-U is not going to suffice. They are missing out millions of software sales right now because the install base is to small.

That would undermine Wii U, which I don't want either. I don't want to have to shell out hundreds for an Xbone or PS4.

Only other option i see is for Nintendo to re-release the Wii-U as a true tablet(with the option to connect to a tv offcourse). There is definitely a market for a really good gaming tablet, and they would  be able to keep supporting the current Wii-U and there would be massive amounts of games launched that actually use the tablet controller and touch screen.

Only problem is the hardware they chose(PowerPC) is not really suited for mobile devices. I don't now if they could get the power draw to acceptable levels for a tablet.
