The main issue with Wii U is just the image, people give Nintendo a kiddy image or a image that its not for adults, this is why when you play playstation or xbox and play online you hear a whole bunch of kids in voice chat because just like the adults they think xbox and playstation are for big people, so they want to feel like a older person too, so they play on a xbox or playstation. Then theres the people who do not want to feel out of place, I remember reading on Miiverse there was someone who posted that he hate how people look at him when he played his 3ds, you see stuff like this would push people away from Nintendo because of Nintendo image, they do not want others to think some type of way about them.

Another problem on here is people think if Nintendo make the same exact system as PS4 and Xbox One they would some how get more 3rd party games.......This is a LIE and Nintendo know it too.......The reason 3rd party do not want to make games on Nintendo products is because they do not sell as well as Nintendo games. Look at VG Chartz sales.......Nintendo 1st party sell more than Microsoft and Sony 1st party, even Sony owner came out and said only 4 out of 10 sony games make money.......its not just that.....only 1 sony game sold over 10 million games and that was gran turismo on the ps2........if you look at the top selling games on any Sony or Microsoft product all of it shows that 3rd party make the most sales........

.so if we use our common sense we can see that 3rd party go where they can make money so they need Sony and Microsoft

Another thing we can realize, there are more 3rd party fans on Sony and Microsoft system instead of 1st party fans, sales prove it, fans can deny it if they want but sales prove it

so regardless if Nintendo made the most powerful system, they still would not get 3rd party games because those 3rd party developers cannot compete with Nintendo, its much easier to sell their games on Playstation and Xbox

I think Nintendo know this too with all the data they have, if they cannot change their image they will have to expect GameCube level of sales, which is not bad at the same time because they never loss money with the GameCube, they made profit every year, more profit then sony made on the ps2, so if they can continue that and stay with a loyal fan base they can always make money and keep it stable fan base
