Hardly, Wii U after first year was already dead and nothing could save it, all 3rd party abandon Wii U after 1st year and then XB1/PS4 arrived on market so basically market totally forget Wii U. Wii U fate was already sealed in its first year.

What about dropping the tablet controller? You know, it adds 100 dollars to  the price and 80 to the manufacturing cost! For me, no matter what anyone says, main  problem of the wii u  will be always be the tablet controller... It makes wii u expensive, overpriced and costly to manufacture and add to that, Nintendo unable to slash its price!

Don't we all remember that xbox one was selling on par with wii u when it had the kinect...?

Nintendo has chance Wii U only in first year, but ditching gamepad, done rebranding (ditch Wii U name), much stronger and different marketing and of course price cut with some very attractive bundles. But Nintendo was delusional they thought that "one game will change anything", in this case Mario 3D World, and of course Mario 3D World didnt save Wii U, and after 2013. it was too late to save Wii U because it was already dead.

MS ditch Kinect and have price cut to console only few months after launch, but reality is that Wii U had far more problems and just gamepad and high price.
