I think with a price cut ($250 Legend of Zelda bundle or maybe limited edition Wii U) it could get some good numbers in those last few years. Either way, at least hardcore gamers are looking more at the Wii U this gen, and if they really show something interesting for the NX people may really get on board.
This gen I think may have been completely different if Nintendo didn't entirely screw up its launch year. All there was really to play was a lot of ports people already had on other consoles (half not even being the definitive edition) and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Had they gotten more consoles into peoples homes third parties may have given a crap about it.
Needless to say, I hope Nintendo learned a LOT this gen about what it needs to do with its next console. Long droughts are one of the absolute biggest reasons it's in the situation it is in now. Go x86, put a LOT more memory for downloads and save files, and have some of those amazing games lined up FIRST YEAR, also try and have the hardware to where it's fairly easy to port and make your version the best version straight from day 1 (I'm not saying it has to be PS5 or XTwo powerful, just realize developers are lazy).
Oh, and drop the Wii name.
It's sad to think about the potential the Wii U has that will never be realized largely in part to Nintendo not giving anyone a reason to buy one until the other consoles were revealed.
