What if Nintendo Doesn't Comeback?

You can't really have it both ways. I kept reading how Ninty (wiiu) has the best exclusives. Even Ninty used Metacritic to prove just how good their exclusives were. The reviewers didn't think it was a simple 3d Mario spinoff, but a great game, hence the scores. Same with the 2d mario. And then you have not only a Mario Kart that is great, but also Smash, and a so-called "genre defining game", i.e. Splatoon.

If Sony managed to sell ps3 for 599 and MS after the fiasco with the xb1 reveal, their console for 499 with a Kinect that "no one" asked for, I don't see how the price was really an issue with wiiu. Wiiu has just as many exclusives as Sony and MS (if not more). The masses obviously don't care enough for NInty IPs.

It has the best exclusives. If they're not that good, the competition naturally has it worse. Who cares about reviews anyways these days, outside of PR. Sony did not manage to sell PS3 for 599. The situation for PS3 was pretty much the same Wii U is facing at the moment: the games started coming years after the release, although PS3 had lots of 3rd party games, while Wii U isn't.

It is obvious MS targets more the customer that is willing to pay what they ask for, as Wii U clearly isn't.

I did read you wrong at first, you're right, people do not care enough about Nintendo IP's, they care about the substance in the said games, and that's what they've been lacking. If you think Super Mario Galaxy is the ultimate Mario experience, SM3DW isn't going to appeal you. If you like 2D Mario, you're not interested in SM3DW. If you have (like I do) NSMB, NSMBW, NSMB2, then NSMBU feels a little stale. It's clear there's no new content, even the music is the same. Was this a HD remake of any NSMB.

It wasn't until 2014 or 2015 Wii U started to look appealing. It would still need a decent pricecut.
