I agree they can have a resurgence with profits and i'd say they will play it really safe with the production of their next console. So massive losses prob won't occur even if the Wii U 2 flops.

But in terms of the Wii U making a comeback absolutely not. In October it sold a mere 69k units. Japan it sold maybe 30k and the rest of the world was bad. SSB will give it a great boost but that's not hard when the baseline is so low. It will be like MK8. Then by Feb it will have gone back down.

I hope they don't play it too safe w the next console -  I think that has been one of the problems w the Wii u-  they wanted to see if the market would commit to it before they were willing to - they have been playing catch up ever since 

they could make an over all profit on it though. If they had of gone full tilt and it cost a lot more to make they could have lost a shit load of money.
