Wasn't this the exact same discussion people had about the 3DS in it's first year? 

"3D is a gimmick!"

"Vita is coming and it's so much more powerful and has a much better screen."

"Why should I get the 3DS when PSP/DS has a bigger library and is cheaper?"

There were tons of arguments on why Nintendo was doomed because of the 3DS but it all came down to hardware, and how it was barely stronger than PSP (or arguements that it was weaker.) and because of that there was no way in the world Nintendo could save themselves from failing. I'm going to call it right now, Both the PS4 and 720 will start the exact same way the Wii U did. They're gonna have great initial sales as the diehard fans and interested parties buy the systems, and then they're going to trickle off into nothing as the inevitable software drought hits. This happens with pretty much EVERY console. I don't see it changing anytime soon. It takes time for consoles to have big enough libraries to justify a purchase/upgrade from the previous gen. 

EXACTLY!  I am not saying the Wii U is doomed, I am saying I cannot think of how they can turn it around.  Plus if it does fail, what will  they do next?  

I am not trolling, I just want someone to put as much thought into figuring out how they can come back to sell 40m+ as I did into analyzing that I don't think they can.  A price drop clearly won't be enough, and I doubt games will to.  Can anyone rationally explain another thing they can do?

Yup, this ^^

And I'd go as far as to say that the PS4 and 720 won't sell as well as the Wii U did at launch. They're going to be more expensive for starters.

When the Wii U has an installed userbase over 10m before the end of the year I'm hoping we'll see less 'Nintendo Is D00med' threads, they barely make sense now.

It isn't rational, in anyway, to say you are not "dooming" a console when the title of the thread suggest it is done, negates arguments as software or price cut effect without knowledge of the future line-up and the 'valid' arguments in OP are just RAM and consumers having a problem to invest in a new online community while keeps the others already builded.

The wii u will not have 10mil thats obvious. The fact that you cant see it is absurd. The ps3 had 10.4 mil shipped then and wii u is trending under that.

That's the thing, many of these people just can't accept that many of my points are very valid, because if they do they will come to the same conclusion as me and others here:  The Wii U is another gamecube or worse...

The thing is the 3DS wasn't ever doing this badly and N had room for a price cut.  The Wii U is already being sold at a slight loss and it seems the forced price cuts from sellers are not even picking up sales.

 In addition to that, the 3DS had monster hunter coming and it was really the only mobile option for third parties, whereas the Wii U already has competition in PS360 that third parties know will sell plenty of copies...

These aren't valid points to you?  

-1GB of ram for gaming is now where near enough and will prevent games from ever looking more than slightly better than PS360.

-Welcome to 2013.  Here we play many games online.  If Nintendo doesn't figure this out, they will never get third parties to give a d@mn.
