Oh wow, the WiiU just gets worse and worse. Any type of recall, be it dumping stock (check), or replacing it with better stock (check) is terrible for something that is not even a year old. The Dreamcast didn't even have this.

What Nintendo needs is to release a new awesome peripheral (like the Wii Fit board was) , pronto. |
That ship has sailed. What they need to focus on first is the core. It's become pretty obvious that this console won't have mass market appeal like the Wii did.

Says who? they can still gather the mass appeal if they have a catchy peripheral + software. I will concede that the Wii U gamepad will NEVER have that appeal BY ITSELF (now matter how good software is developed for it). But if they can create a NEW thing like the balance board it will be 10 times cheaper than scratching Wii U and making a whole new console. And I'm sorry to tell you but the "core" of Nintendo fans is not large enough (as Wii U sales have shown) and expecting that small audience to carry the Wii U on its back and expand the installed-base to a *competitive position* is folly.

a) The casual market has gone. It is a one hit wonder and people won't buy anything new for a few years/until they bin and forget about their Wii's.
b) Compared to Kinect 2 and the tablet/phone market, they can't win with peripherals anymore. That time has gone.
c) They have a fit board.....which works with a wiiU. No one cares anymore. Been there, done that - next.
