I reckon a price cut could help it a lot if timed well, if they can get a few big exclusives they could pull it back.

If I was working for Nintendo and I was tasked with trying to save the Wii U, this is what I'd do.

- Prioritise a new Zelda game and coincide a Wii U price slash with it's release.
- Get an exclusive out of Square, The Last Story was a great Wii Game and it would have sold like hotcakes if it had been released a few years earlier.
- One of the reasons why Gamecube was so successful was because of Resident Evil 0, the remake and the RE4 exclusivity. With Resident Evil: Revelations doing well on the 3DS Nintendo should try to get an RE exclusive out of Capcom, perhaps an RE2 remake.
- Come up with an exclusive first person shooter franchise, it's big business and both Microsoft and Sony have exclusive FPS franchises that are hugely popular. Nintendo has Metroid but it's not enough.
- Get exclusive fights to a hardcore fighting franchise, Super Smash Bros is very popular but Fighting Games are on the rise as proved by Microsoft relaunching Killer Instinct on the Xbox One as one of it's flagship titles.
- More games like Muramasa, Xenoblade, No More Heroes & Monster Hunter.
- BEG Gamefreak for a Wii U Pokemon game, Remake Ruby/Sapphire or Red/Blue for the Wii U and you'd sell **** tons of Wii U's.
