Regarding software, the Wii U is still growing in terms of becoming competitive in the U.S. market. We've yet to see exclusive Nintendo-defining games aside from Mario Kart 8 and some of the other Mario games while the other consoles get the latest CoD and Destiny. However, since I'm assuming that you've watched E3, we're promised a lot of great things to happen to the Wii U in 2015 with major growth in first-party games.
The biggest and most realistic fault that I see in the West is lack of third-party support. Look at the numbers for Destiny (or next week's CoD: AW) sales. You see how much success can be accomplished if a deal could be settled or if successful third-party devs would be interested in Nintendo's console.
So don't count Nintendo out until next year where we will see major growth. I'm just wondering how well Smash Bros. U will turn out in a couple of months.
