Sony did a bit of a rebrand on the PS3 , gone was the full title of"Playstation 3" in the Spiderman fonts and replaced by the simple sleek PS3 logo we now associated with. It was very subtle but worked, and then it was backed up by games games and more games. I think Ninty just need to wipe the slate clean with Wii U and rebrand, keep the Wii U name if they wish but change the logo so its looks different and more distinctive than the Wii logo, and then that will help sove the confusion issue. Then do a 3DS, back it with as many first party exclusives as possible and use a full range from their wealth of IPs, garner a bit of decent 3rd party support and things might just turnaround.
I have said in another thread, Nintendo would have less to lose going all out supporting the Wii U , rather than leaving it to tick over or just abandoning the system. They would rebuild faith and trust in their brands and the momentum would carry them into the next gen in good shape. Sony cteate a lot of good will with their brilliant support of the PS3, and its paying off with the PS4
