What if Nintendo Doesn't Comeback?

I gotta agree with bdbdbd here that Wii U was a retread of the Gamecube, not the Wii, hence the similar sales.

The Wii was a forward thinking console; Wii U, like Gamecube, was a backwards thinking console, applying a 90s mindset to a 21st century market.

 

if this was really true why are the other two consoles doing SO much better? Hell even the PS360 didnt do to bad in the end. They both ended selling more than most Ninty consoles do period.

Where are the games? Even the hardcore Nintendo fanboys have to admit Wii U has no games. If you buy a Wii U now, it does have a decent library of good games, but if you bought it at launch, you've been experiencing games drought all the time. PS360 ended up good (or, at least not the disaster they were headed towards in 05-09), because of all the red ink spilled and lackluster sales, 3rd parties kept pushing their games on PS360. Once the price of two went low enough, console sales started to get traction. With Wii U, Nintendo expected 3rd parties to port their PS360 games on Wii U, and have Wii U as third platform in multiplatform game development. This way you would have decent library and sales momentum at the time of PS4 and X1 release.
