Great thread! 
I thought about this as well and I think Nintendo still has chances if they do it right.
With "having chances" i mean selling around 40 mio. and not 100 mio. like the Wii did.
Nintendo has the most known gaming franchises in the world and games like MK8 and Smash Bros have a huge appeal. Also they still have some surprises left with Splatoon and the Amiibo's.
Who knows how much those things are going to do?!
They really need to step up their game if they want to sell Wii U's, but they have made some really good decisions this year already.
I find it funny when people think that they can judge a console by its first year performance, but that never works that well.
If Nintendo does stuff right they definitely have a chance to make a comeback with the Wii U.
MK8 was a good first step, but they need to keep up with that!
The Wii U lineup for the next time looks really good imo.
If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)
