Little would be different. The console's situation would be a little better and it would have more third party games.

If the WiiU was as powerful as PS4 and sold at $399 with a gamepad, It would of definitely sold 10 million or more by now!!!

WiiU would of had a much bigger lead, the main problem with the WiiU is that the graphic were very similar to the PS360 and these console owners never made the jump. 

It is lol

I still think 3rd parties would still shun it. Personally i dont think Wii U is the problem, it is a decent piece of hardware and achieves what it sets out to do. Its perception that is Nintendos biggest problem, if Nintendo want to get back in the mix then they have to do what they have done on 3DS, pump out quality 1st party titles one after the other. Many people cite lack of 3rd party support as one of Wii Us biggest problems, yet arguably Nintendo have virtually carried the 3DS on the back of its 1st party titles as 3rd party support is also pretty scarce. Not supporting Wii in its last 2 years also may have lost a lot of trust, whilst Sony, although they had a slow start supported PS3 untill the very end, thus earning trust in their brand.
Nintendo need to increase output, great games will help sell systems and more importantly dont give up on the system, keep supporting it and gaining trust among gamers once again.

I honestly can't take this seriously, the main point is for Nintendo to make a profit, if they spent all this money buying big third parties out their shareholders would be like wtf look at these huge loses and it would take forever for them to make that money back.  Also where did you get that 50% number from?

Get real.

They dont develop casue ninty conosle owners dont buy their games.  Just check out some threads on here, vast majority claim they buy ninty console ONLY for ninty games.  Thats a fact.

Ninty on N64 screwd it self with cartridges,  Ninty tried to milk 3rd prties more then Sony due to cartriges even though they begged them to use CD.  With the added cost and Ninty being control freaks they ran to Sony.  They were arrogant and they payed for it, and are still paying for it. 

GC and X were dead on arrival, PS2 build to much a lead and was the console to own that gen.  There was no competing vs that juggernaut. 

Its Ninty that refused to grow up as those gamers did, give those gamers the games they want and sales will follow.  If not just do what they been doing and they can watch sales plummet for two decades now.

History has proven that a consoles power does not mean superior sales.

A consoles game library does.

At launch people would say, "t's underpowered and PS4 and Xbox 720 will blow it out of the water.". Devs would say the system is too weak to handle their games. Then when the PS4 launches it will be too late for the Wii U.

Wii U has a better game library than PS4...

Pretty much and they'll also say they can't compete with Nintendo's 1st Party games .
