The problem for Iwata is that there isn't much that can be done in the short term. The Wii U is what it is and third parties aren't coming no matter what. You could offer a model without a gamepad or incentivize third party releases, but it's not like that's going to result in 80 million lifetime sales. And they don't have the resources where they could pump out Metroid, Starfox, Zelda, etc. any time soon. Instead, they have to carefully plan their next console and make sure they can get third parties on board. And decide if a hybrid console would be best and so forth.
