Nintendo's problem is creating a consistent stream of game releases in order to keep numbers up. If they can't do that, then they can't have the higher sales. The price point is a problem, but considering how the Mario Kart 8 bundle is selling out (which is more expensive than the Mario & Luigi bundle) is price the most important factor to Wii U's low sales? I don't think so, they just need to give a better value. They're not getting rid of the Gamepad, people need to stop wishing for that. The best they can do is redesign it to be smaller and less expensive to manufacture, thus reducing the price further for those who don't wanna buy it at its current price.
Mario Kart was probably their biggest deal of the year yet for attracting people into buying the console. Smash bros. won't have that same effect because it's not as popular. I think Holiday sales will be better than last year with more games, but will that translate into a higher baseline for next year outside of the holiday season? Only doing well in the latter part of the year isn't good, they need to do what they can to perform well throughout the entire year.
