They just need a good price point for it... and make some good looking games.

Most of the nintendo users, buy it for the games not the graphics its capable of.

yes, and look at where the WiiU is now. If they want to be successful the COD, Battlefield, Batman, AC, and other multiplats of the world need to be on their console and at least comparible.

the Wii U is where it is now because of marketing and design

when you label something the next in line aka 'Wii 2' then people naturally expect a similar system (which the Wii U is not remotely like the Wii). not only that but in terms of marketing Nintendo did not push the system at all upon release- they thought that it would sell itself. unfortuantely the title of the system was terrible, and simply adding a 'U' after the word Wii did not resonate with buyers or really inform them that it was something new

     lastly the gamepad was an abysmal decision, players don't want to constantly look at their lap  to play a game and they just don't CARE for the added feature when they can press start/select and easily reach a map or menu anyway

the Wii U partially may have failed due to a bad game lineup but as much of  that is Nintendo's fault as third parties- the 1st party game lineup has been sparse and weirdly timed. they released the system with virtually NO big titles. had they came out with the Wii U and a Zelda game + Mario Kart - BAM it would have sold great

just total failure on marketing and design. the third parties aren't responsible for the Wii U failing, Nintendo is
