Nintendo should start cancelling games for the 3DS and send them instead for the WiiU.

It depends on what you mean with "turn around". If you mean having a console that ends up selling between 30-50 million units and that is profitable for Nintendo, then yes, not only they can do it but they will do it.

Instead, if you mean making the WiiU the best selling console this gen, then no, I don't think it will happen.

My feeling is the Wii U has until June 30, 2014 to turn itself around. By that point, Nintendo will have fired virtually every big gun they have for the system, with the possible exception of Smash Bros. 2D Mario, 3D Mario, minigames, party games, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Mario Kart, and Donkey Kong Country will all be out for a while by June of 2014. If that AND the $50 price cut can't get the Wii U to at least GameCube levels (assuming HD consoles leg better than SD ones), then Nintendo should seriously consider ending this gen as soon as possible.

What do you mean by "ending this gen as soon as possible"?

Nintendo News: Noontime November 10, 2013 Edition

• In case anybody didn't know, the latest Mario & Sonic game comes bundled with a Wiimote.
• NintendoLand appears to be missing from the American eShop.
• Five hour impressions of Zelda 3DS are in. And they are positive. Although the bees sound ominous...
• It's the 65th birthday of Shigesato Itoi, aka the guy who made the Mother/Earthbound series.

Coming out with their 9th generation console ASAP. Doing something like what Microsoft did with the 360, when the original Xbox only really was supported for four years or so. I can imagine a desperate Nintendo releasing the first 9th gen console (perhaps with 16 GB of RAM and all the works) as early as holiday 2016 if the Wii U does poorly enough.

I don't know if that would be good for Nintendo.

Let's face it, Nintendo sucks supporting their consoles during its final years, with very few 1st party games during the last year or year and a half of their consoles as they move on preparing the launch of the next one. If they release a new console in 3 years, support for WiiU could end almost by mid 2015, maybe the end of 2015. So we would get 2.5-3 years of support from them, which would mean few games and leave may of us disappointed.

That could have a very negative impact during the launch of the next console as many gamers will not trust them and hold their purchase for longer in a "wait and see" scenario, leading to poor initial sales that would put Nintendo in the same situation they are now, but with less resources (money) and options.

Well if they end support for Wii U in 2015. Good luck convincing most people again to buy their consoles early. People are already not too happy with what happened to Wii towards the end.

I can agree with this. I definitely feel that if it isn't sorted by this time next year then it's too late. If it isn't too late already ofcourse.
