I don t think wii u is doing bad. Again this high price issue do you want it free? If you think that nextbox and Ps4 will launch cheaper you are wrong.
We know they are just scraping profit how can they sell it cheaper?
Switch!!!
Sony's bankruptcy will save Nintendo, not Nintendo themselves.
MS is losing MAJOR BANK on Windows 8 and Google.
Samsung shall inherit the earth.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Yeah, to me the Wii U has always felt like a step backwords away from the new audience they created but whatever.
Though to be fair, I thought the Wii was going to be a gimmicy garbage system that wouldn't sell, and it proved me wrong on all accounts.

3D Mario > 3D Zelda > 2D Mario
On topic: Is 3DS really saved anywhere other than Japan? It's not doing nearly as well in America and I'm afraid this will mean that I won't get the sweet sweet localizations that I want and deserve. :(
I dunno, I think the Japanese should be able to carry it for a few months before it takes off in the west.

No offense, but your definition of fine is messed up. It's not really doing fine. If it was it wouldn't have gone down on its second week that much. Now, I'm not saying its doing horrible, but it sure could do better. |
You forget that the first week had its launch AND Black Friday, and that all consoles dropped down a hefty amouth WoW:
| Platform | Weekly (change) | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| X360 | 333,540 | (-59%) | 37,331,209 |
| PS3 | 152,860 | (-64%) | 23,037,805 |
| 3DS | 132,293 | (-50%) | 6,675,004 |
| WiiU | 130,733 | (-68%) | 542,583 |
| Wii | 109,205 | (-63%) | 40,241,266 |
| DS | 86,996 | (-68%) | 51,867,390 |
| PSV | 58,887 | (-58%) | 1,118,790 |
| PSP | 5,693 | (-52%) | 19,601,575 |
So it did drop a lot, yes, but reall in-line with everything else. It could be doing better, but as always expect the sales to start ramping up towards the end of the year now, if history has taught us anything.

Bad marketing, high price, and a bad taste left in gamers mouths fromm the wii have hurt the wii u early on. But the same thing happened with the 3DS (maybe some different reasons) and Japan saved it.
Will they be able to save the wii u as well? |
It does not have bad marketing, its priced lower than what the next gen consoles will be and the 3DS wasnt saved by Japan, but by the price cut and the 2 mario games.
Would like to point out that you've created at least 5 threads bashing the Wii U since it released. Theres definitly a vendetta going on with you. If you dont like it, just ignore it? It doesnt have to appeal to you to be sucessful.
