It won't fix anything. They can have Zelda show her tits for ten minutes straight in the next Zelda game and that still won't fix Nintendo's issues because they are so deeply rooted. 

The console business has just changed and Nintendo hasn't changed with it, as such they aren't able to adapt to it. The had great success with one big gamble that really payed off in spades with motion control, but even there it was obvious they didn't really know what to do with it after a while as the PS3/360 sure enough started to outsell the Wii by time 2010 rolled around fairly consistently. 

Not the "Wii was a fluke" retcon, that's getting old.

You can label it however you want (fluke, miracle, genius stroke, etc. etc.), but the bottom line is Nintendo hasn't been able to repeat it, and have most likely lost all of that audience anyway to tablet/smartphone gaming (sorry, but denial doesn't change this). 

The fact is the Wii's success yesterday doesn't do sh*t for Nintendo today or tomorrow as far as their market outlook. 

It was genius. A fluke would have been if Iwata's alphabet soup had spelled "try motion controls".

Nintendo current failings are NOT the result of the Wii. They are the result of them stopping being genius in 2011.
