How did Sony turn the PS3 around but Nintendo couldn't do the same with Wii U?

Please extrapolate. I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that the WiiU is generating profit for Nintendo.

1. The Wii U didn't lose anywhere close to as much money upfront as the PS3.
2. The worst portion of the Wii U's life (in terms of profits, or rather losses) is already behind it.
3. The PS3 never made back the money Sony lost on it.
4. Therefore Nintendo will already beat Sony by merely breaking even when all is said and done, but it's reasonable to expect that Nintendo will make $10+ from it.

So, you don't really know.
