Are they going to try and have Zelda U finished this year? What would that take to make happen? Giving large portions of the game to second-parties and hoping EAD can tie it all together in time for November?
Smash in the Spring instead of the holidays?
$249 Wii U?
I don't know what more Nintendo can do. Obviously their model doesn't work if they can't sell decent numbers of Wii U's over the holiday, after a $50 price drop, bundled with a very popular game.
