The 3DS was "turned around" within 5-6 months. 

No system gets turned around this late in the game. Even the PS3 was selling much better than the Wii U by this point in its lifecycle. 

Nintendo actually isn't that great at turning around consoles either, all of the N64, GCN, and even Wii lost momentum as they went along in their lifecycle, all three pretty much were wheezing like a fat kid trying to get up a set of stairs by the generation end. 

Fair enough, I still place much more faith in Nintendo than I do either of the other console manufacturers. Mostly because I look at the other two, and what original top-tier titles have they produced this gen? I don't see anything screaming have to have it, and I'm confused as to how all of this raw power and graphics, and bluray capability, and entertainment hub is driving sales when there are no dedicated games of note on the consoles. It's strange how Nintendo puts out great title after great title (maybe with a small lull in between titles now that they are rolling) and attracts the attention of the indie scene, yet they are the odd-man out. I guess we'll see how it turns out, I'm jsut holding out hope that people will start realizing just how great they are.

With all due respect, i think you are letting your love for Nintendo blind you. What has the other two done? THe PS brand at least is bigger than Ninty worldwide. ANd what original top tier titles have Ninty done this gen? they had a year headstart and all they've done is follow ups to series they have been making for years. Hell they havetn even put out an original IP yet. 

You are confused and you and a few other people still dont get it. Ninty is not the end all be all in gaming no matter how you think, sales prove it. Peopel want to play non Ninty games. And for the longest time Ninty hasnt had a home console that had what would be considered the most popular games at any given time. and when they did get it it was some bad version (looking at you COD wii).

People have realized that Ninty isnt that great, at least not on their own and not to sacrifice missing out on stuff like COD and GTA
