Can anything save us from the "can anything save the Wii U" debates?

I edited my post above. If the Wii U has a typical five-year lifespan, I'm pretty sure Nintendo will be able to break even on Wii U marketing and R&D at a minimum, especially considering how lackluster the former has been.

Yep, good point. As long as they keep selling their software and get as many new Wii U owners as possible then breaking even on it is definitely possible.

That's just my most conservative take. That's not factoring in things like the digital marketplace, something Nintendo didn't have in place until the Wii and didn't take seriously until this generation, and amiibo, which could be a huge boon for its ecosystem.
