I think you must wait until Mario, and SSB if they do well enough and I think it will, I think wii-u can essentially be the gamecube 2 (except that its weaker than it's competitors).

If for some reason, SSB and Mario bomb (I don't think this will happen), you have to evaluate everything related to wii-u, and what the right move is which could be moving all the software to 3DS, and or putting other projects on hiatus or something.

I don't think endlessly supporting a dead console is a good thing. And Nintendo's had failures before (Virtual Boy), and recovered from them, they won't be doomed regardless of what happens to the wii-u.


Virtual Boy had an install base of 770,000 and games were developed in red and black, doesn't seem like a big loss at all. Plus, it only had roughly 3 games from Nintendo. Not to mention the Wii U is an HD console and they have over 10 games in development for it. In my opinion comparing Virtual Boy and Wii U is unfair anyway because Virtual Boy was a "handheld system" and Wii U is a home console.


you completely missed the point of the hypothetical and I did not compare the wii-u to virtualboy. I also predicted the wii-u becoming the gamecube 2.

Are you going to argue, that if.. (if being the key word) mario and super smash brothers bomb, they should support this console into oblivion? And not evaluate their strategy?
