They just need to rebrand. The thing with the "core" market is that they are actually not that bias. By core, I dont mean the COD players, I mean people really invested in videogames as medium, not just one or 2 games. The early adopters/trend setters will always be these guys and if Nintendo could launch a system with an incredible launch window and first year, they could easily win them over. Rebranding from their current childish/family image (ala N64, SNES etc), plus the support of major parties would allow them to sell a ton of systems next gen. The crux is that they come in early before the PS5, XboxNext but unlike the wii u provide hardware which is future proof and bound to run the next gen hardware of games relatively easily, even if somewhat scaled down.

Even if the wii u had a stronger line up, I still would have been somewhat weary that it wouldnt recieve 3rd party next gen titles like FF15, Witcher 3 etc. I have no problem with buying a 1st party box, but I definitely wouldnt for the price the wii U is at.
