A lot of hopes, prayers, and cash. Some tinkering with the WiiU OS. Finding a good partner to help build and market their next generation of hardware.
Pray that MK8, Bayo 2, SSB, X, Zelda U, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Starfox, F-Zero and a Pokemon game do something to increase the userbase.
Pay Warner Bros/Travellers Tales for another WiiU exclusive title, probably Lego City Undercover 2.
Do a huge joint marketing effort with Ubisoft to lift the Just Dance series.
Capture the attention of indie developers (they're doing that reasonably well actually). Greenlight and fund key releases, like Shadows of the Eternals.
Do Pro Controller game bundles. Pay $60 and you get the Pro Controller + say DKC : TF, or TW101, or Rayman Legends. Something they want to sell in larger numbers. Or further cut the price of the Pro Controller.
Price cuts.
Implement a PS+ style service.
Reduce footprint of the WiiU OS while giving it better features (system wide party chat, accessing friends list faster, Twitch, etc).
Partner with a major tech company for their next console/tablet/handheld hybrid console.
I think the WiiU OS could be licensed as a Smart TV OS. You'd have digital-only console. You could have the TV manufacturer add more storage natively. Retail the download codes.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
