The U will do fine. Short term versus long term.

I doubt there will be that much of a "long term" for the Wii U. Internally I think Nintendo has already started to shift resources to the 3DS successor that is going to need to come out in 2016. Gotta start working on games now if you want them ready by then. 

I think the Wii U will get whatever Nintendo already has promised (the 2015 games) + maybe like Metroid and Diddy Kong Racing game and some smaller projects before they put it out to pasture. 

Of course.

And also, they posted graphs showing how the west is much less front-loaded than japan in their latest investor's briefing. They are right, the U and 3DS still haven't reached their sales potential in the West and their numbers back it up.

I'm sure they are setting up a plan B which is what you said, I don't deny that, but it doesn't negate the point that the West has room for 3DS/U growth in the next 3-7 years.

I think the 3DS is never going to live up to their expectations in the West. Too many kids are iOS/Android crazy here and that's getting worse by the year not better.
