>the controller
>those fucking launch titles
Someone else can probably come up with more.
why are used wii u's more expensive than used ps4's these days
They can and I hope they will.
Nintendo has nothing to recover from
Wii U might be shit but hey, the other consoles are selling like hot cakes
Actually promoting the shit that comes out for their next console would be a good start.

>shitty online functionality (party chat / etc.)
>probably still no way to save VC / store games to an account, e.g., for future consoles
>underpowered for multiplats
>no games

We already now what went wrong : stupid name & underpowered.
And I don't think they can recover from the Wii U failure. The NX will probably be as powerful as a Xbox One, and Nintendo will still be alone to make games for it.

REHASHING THE SAME FUCKING CPU ARCHITECTURE SINCE GAMECUBE
Third party developers don't want to port their shit to PowerPC anymore, they want x86 now.

Indie game dev has options with x86 as well, as the professional, now-free engines can click-port the games to consoles.
It was a bad product with bad games. Many don't want to accept this, so they think up other reasons why the system failed.
As far as recovering, we need to see what NX is first. They seem to have little faith in it, which isn't filling me with hope.
