The Wii U is infamous for being Nintendo's lowest selling console, and as a result brought them economic harm (later resulting in them creating the Switch). So, I beg the question - how can we save the Wii U? It was already a fine console with some great 1st-party games, but how could we make it bette, how could we make it a success? (Therefore saving it) By success I mean >30 million units sold.

Some ideas:
  • Better marketing (rename it to not include the "Wii" aspect, which would prevent some to think it was an add-on to the Wii)
  • Better business approach (release titles on time, or around time; don't give BotW a specific release date to stop delay complaints)
  • Later release (2013? - polish hardware more, get more 3rd parties on board)
Any others? Of course, this would sadly butterfly the Switch. But, perhaps maybe some ideas from it could be incorporated into this version of the Wii U?
