Since Wii U failed, what should Nintendo have done to follow up the Wii's success?

And it did increase the price by a large margin. A replacement gamepad costs $150

 

 

Here is an old breakdown from almost two years ago.

http://www.destructoid.com/cnn-estimates-the-cost-of-wii-u-s-parts-to-be-228-249435.phtml

 The GamePad alone is valued at $79.25, 

Replacing this with a classic controller that costs around $15

That makes for a reduction in price of less than $65 (almost a much as a bundled game)

Yea and then u have the licensing fees since Nintendo partnered with Broadcom (I believe) to create the zero latency streaming, R&D and a whole lot of other stuff which could have been far less if they didn't go the way they did with the gamepad. But yea, they goofed a lot this generation which is a shame cause the games are great
