Here's Nintendo's list of reasons why they should recover:

1) Extremely unique console experience

2) Cheap

3) Huge first party development, enough to make it worth purchasing for that alone.

4) Family friendly

5) Cheap to develop for

6) Nintendo can bribe third parties with the 3DS which is doing really well.

7) Unique audience which isn't captured on the XBox One or the PS4

8) Third parties almost have to make all their games an exclusive on the Wii U without Nintendo doing anything.

9) Nintendo is winning Japan even more than Sony is right now.  

10) Nintendo sales are picking up

11) Nintendo has the second largest marketshare right now of the big 3.  

1) Which games besides Nintendo Land deliver "extremely unique experiences"? Even most first party WiiU games use the touchscreen only for a map, inventory or to display some stats... these are minor differences.

2) Not compared to PS3 & 360 with similar graphic quality and a much bigger game selection

3) correct

4) correct

5) no, even Nintendo has underestimated the extra effort (money and time) compared to Wii games

6) that worked really great so far

7) so, where is this unique audience? The Wii crowd? Either they already bought a Wii U, have already moved on to other systems (Kinect, smartphones, tablets), have found other hobbies than gaming or won't upgrade at all

8) please elaborate... where are all these third party exclusives?

9) we'll see

10) how many weeks?

11) before PS4 and XBO launched, Wii U had even the largest marketshare (100%) of the 8th generation. Already lost a place, will lose another
