They should've just gone ahead and made a legit next-gen console comparable to the XB1 in specs and released a *separate* HD model of the Wii with the Wiimote for $129.99 with all casual stuff on it for that corner of the market (that was getting eaten by smartphones anyway, but whatever).

A year headstart would've given them time to build up a user base.

New NES (November 2012 launch) - $399.99 msrp, specs 1 TFLOP processor, new architecture, comparable to XB1. Standard controller. 

Wii HD (fall 2011 launch) - $129.99 msrp, same basic tech as Wii 1 but with capability to go up to 720p. Gets a few new casual titles mini-game-athons/year + Just Dance + the back catalog of existing Wii titles.
