GC in 2004 was in a much less desperate position than Wii U will be in 2016. 

There's a significant difference between a system 19 months from replacement and on course to sell 22 million and a system in its final 6 months and on course to sell 14 million.

There also significant difference between system that will be 5 years on market and system that will 4 years on market. Nintendo needs to satisfy owners in that 4 years, and they said they will satisfy them. Pikmin 4 is great opportunity for something like that, big game with not big budget.

And Wii U is not on course to sell 14m, at end of next year it will be around 15m.

Nintendo had no problem leaving Wii and Gamecube to wither and die towards the end of their lives. One would hope they have learned their lesson, but since we're 12 months away from NX and Pikmin 4 hasn't even been shown, I'm not optimistic.
