Nintendo could NOT have turned around the Wii U like Sony did with the PS3.

a) The hype for the PS3 was huge anyway, it was the price that killed it. Once Sony did the rebranding in 2009 and had a decent price, it made its appropriate comeback. The Wii U could be $99 and no one would buy it still.

b) Third party support. Nuff said. Sony had it, Nintendo doesn't.

c) The PS3 sold well after its atrocious first year. PS3 sold MORE in 1 year DESPITE $599, losing exclusives, no rumble, no first party games, mediocre second party games, inferior multiplats, etc. etc. what the Wii U has sold in TOTAL.
