Nintendo expected to sell 9 million units this year, but sold less than 3 million. That means there are at least 6 million units on store shelves or in distribution centres somewhere. Nintendo has already paid for these units to be made and sustained the loss. Re-launch the Wii U later this year with a pro controller, and ditch the tablet. Set a lower price point (£130?) and sell the current surplus of 6 million off at that price point from April. People will snap them up before the tablet-less version launches, Wii U will have an install base of over 10 million and Nintendo will start to see a profit in the next fiscal year. Then, develop a console to replace the Wii U in a year or two, but a console the consumer actually wants. A power house with an established control method and no gimmicks.
