No, it didn't.
OT: Unfortunately, it's not an apples to apples comparison with the 3DS situation, which had some breathing room for a drastic price drop and little threat from direct competition. WiiU doesn't have those luxuries.
It's safe to assume that WiiU will do much better going forward after Mario Kart and more games hit, and I have little doubt that it will maintain its lead in Japan for quite a while, but it's almost certainly going to take the game-changing software you mentioned - something new and different like Wii Sports and Brain Age were upon their release (and, preferrably, something Gamepad-centric) - to allow for a full-blown turnaround.
