It doesn't need to be saved. Nintendo actually makes profit on each unit sold. Maybe it doesn't print money like DS/3DS or Wii, but still ... no loss. Of course they could drop the price to some ridiculous level, invest shed loads of money in advertisement, pay 3rd party devs to release some games (as their support is practically non existent), put all their resource in developing new games etc. But considering current Wii U situation this would be extremely risky and might not pay off. From business point of view, it would make much more sense to do the same thing but with the new system. At the moment every new Wii U game is selling very well and they make quite a lot of money on amiibos so I guess for them it's good enough and now they're simply moving on.
