If Nintendo wants a serious sales spike of ANY meaningful kind in Holiday 2015, they need to drop the fucking price, which they should have done last year when Smash was coming out, but didn't.
I agree that Wii U still has some life left in it, and I have personally (and stated so many times) been in the camp all along, that they should WAIT with their next console, and squeeze as much out of Wii U as they can. It would also be nice for those of us who actually bothering buying a Wii U, to get as many games for it (retail and digital) as we can, before we're expected to fork out cash for a whole new system. I've never been in any hurry to spend $300+ on a new system to replace Wii U, and mind you, there've been people calling for Nintendo to rush out a new console since 2013, yes, less than a year after the damn thing launched.
I personally hope Zelda is outright amazing, and totally lives up to the potential of what Miyamoto and Aonuma teased. I'm not going to hold my BREATH that it will 100% live up to that potential, but I will allow myself to hope that it lives up to at least SOME of it. Outside of that, I could give a fuck less about Pikmin 4 or Star Fox Zero, unless they actually fix/improve the experiences, IE make Pikmin more like it's SUPPOSED to be (like 1 & 2), and make Star Fox an actual fully new game, not just some rehash cash-in job.
Beyond that, I'm sure we could get some other cool games for Wii U before 2017 and the "NX" likely hits as well.
BUT, circling back around, if you're talking just about system sales, then they need to drop the price of the console THIS year, not next.
