Hmmm..

 

To the is it too late? No, but will it sell close to Wii? No, but they can still get sales up for Wii U and had a moderate amount of sales. Luckily for them they have had a lot of sales this week thanks to Mario Kart 8 selling 1.2 million, but also Wii U selling over 180,000 units. Take into account that Iwata announced recently that the Wii U is making profit which is a huge step, even if it's just a few dollars. If it's 5 dollar profit and a million people buy it then it's 5 million dollars in the bank. Making profit is better than a loss and relying on the software to make profits with it.

 

3rd-party isn't great, but it doesn't mean it isn't there. Platinum Games have Bayonetta and Monoliths have X. Yeah it's not big, but it's not like Nintendo has always relied on 3rd-party much before. We Still had Zombi U and Assassins Creed and getting Watch Dogs from Ubisoft, Had a Resident Evil game from Capcom and obviously Monster Hunter. I think if they don't get more 3rd-party, then do their best to get as much out of the companies that are still willing to support while Nintendo hopefully gets as much software out.

 

I honestly don't think they are in as big trouble as people say like they are in deep danger. Nintendo still intend on making profits while Sony expect losses again sadly due to their other hardware such as Viao and Vita doing extremly poor and losing them a ton of money. The 130 job cuts had to be done since they want to put 2 buildings into just 1. It doesn't mean they are doing it to cut down on the money. I could be wrong, but it's hard to really say anything about if they are in big trouble or not because they seem to act like they will make profits and they have games to sell Wii U by another 3 million by the end of this year. Not been profiting sales for a long time so clearly something is up.
