Nintendo made too many mistakes with Wii U that couldnt be easily corrected, terrible and confusing marketing and bad name, bad launch titles and 1st year games, software drouth, not appeling gamepad, high price...all that lead to terrible sales after launch, that lead to 3rd party completely abandoning platform, so Wii U basically was dead when X1/PS4 arrive on market and it that time it was almost imposible to revive it without burning tons of cash but even then it couldnt be success.

Literally 2 days ago I had to correct someone in conversation that the Wii-U was not a Nintendo handheld which failed....

But I think the issues it had could have been at least addressed in the first 11 months of the consoles life or even still some haven't, while a price cut wouldn't make it a PS4 beater, it would at least be a step in the right direction to reflect a console of its power and potential lifespan when you compare it to the X1 and PS4, buying a Wii-U now is imo one of the worst investments in gaming if you are in any way careful with your spending and want to get the most gaming from your money for the next couple of years.

Said true is that some people still dont know that Wii U exist at all or what Wii U exactly is.

And yet; there's no logic in releasing the NX as soon as possible.

Because it's a given the next system will perform better? I'm not sure if that is sarcasm or not, but it didn't seem to do it for SEGA. Why would it work for Nintendo. Releasing another mid-gen system is going to end up in failure once again... unless it has a gimick that appeals to the casual market.

I am pretty sure Nintendo will not release new console after Wii U if they didnt prepare new console properly, because they know they need to have much sucede console after Wii U (realistically that won't be any problem). Saying that, NIntendo can prepare NX and launch it at end of this year without problem, I think that will be case.
