I can think of a few possible things that could help the Wii U through its life cycle. 1. Universal Nintendo Account and eShop. 2. 3DS player for Wii U, to play the 3DS library on the big screen/tablet. 3. More great titles, and more 3rd party incentive. 4. New IP.

I'm just getting into programming, and I just have to say thank you to all of you for your discussion! So many great points made! Please forgive any ignorance that may follow in this post! AI to me is exciting not so much for the emotional replication, but for the ability of computers to understand spoken word, and to accurately deduce the meaning as a human would. Seems like Google searching every aspect of every "thing" that exists (down to every letter) would be the best place to start. And cataloging the questions and results in an open source fashion as "experiences" for every instance to draw upon, add to, and "grow" from... Of course, the imagination, the ability to infer meaning, conjure ideas, picture an alligator, anthropomorphic comparisons to things, generalizing like humans... etc. That is a whole different bag of tricks I suppose. Intelligence is a funny thing. Every now and then, when I'm outside with my friends, I have to shout: "Look!" While quickly pointing to the sky. "A deer!" Everyone looks quickly to the sky, before realizing what I shouted. :). We've all got our heads up, looking for deer... Lol's around. +1 for stupidity. Good times.
