Journalists think Nintendo can turn Wii U around, say Wii U Sports would help

"Once we see more first-party content for the Wii U, we could see momentum improve, but they need the equivalent of 'Wii Sports' for the Wii U to convince consumers of the strength of the GamePad. There hasn't been that kind of game yet." - Brett Molina, online tech producer for USA Today
"Nintendo did a poor job in marketing the Wii U. Sharing part of its name with its predecessor was a misstep. The public was unsure if the Wii U was a new console or a peripheral of the Wii. Nintendo didn't make it clear in their marketing that the Wii U was their new home console to replace the Wii.

Nintendo isn't just coming out with rehashes of the same game. They're doing more to make sure these games are original. 'Super Mario Galaxy' was one of the best franchises on the Wii. They can keep reusing the same characters if you ask me, as long as they keep coming up with new ways to play. (Nintendo turned around 3DS, but) whether it happens with Wii U remains to be seen." - Max Parker, video game columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
