ToxicJosh said: I disagree, I think that the Wii U at least should have released a year earlier (I think a lot of it's 3rd party woes wouldn't have occurred that way). The PS4 is clearly selling perfectly well. And the Xbox One should have launched maybe a 2-3 months earlier, with stronger Kinect support to avoid another embarrassing U-turn.

If the Wii U released a year earlier then the technology inside of it would cost a years worth more making them either lose more money on every console sold (which they've already admitted to sabataging the original wii sales in order to wait until it was profitable) or have a higher price than $300-350, which is already too high for most consumers.

That's as maybe, but I think that if they'd have loss led on it a year earlier they could have arrived before tablet gaming became old hat and before the casual market had fully abandoned the Wii idea.
Other than that, move all the Wii U releases forward a year, make an HD Skyward Sword as a cross gen launch title and you have a strong line-up, with big 3rd parties to fill the gaps such as Mass Effect 3.
Of course, it's all moot as time travel isn't possible... yet (QOL?)
