I think it's unwise to buy a Wii U. You never know if it might get discontinued in a year or two..

-Nintendo stopped production on the original Wii (which had similar sales to Wii U at the time)

-Each Wii U is sold at a loss while the Wii was sold for profit

-Xbox 360/ PS3 are selling better than Wii U despite the older systems being just as expensive

-PS4 and Xbox One just launched

-Despite new games and a price cut happening Wii U sales haven't really picked up

-Even if the system was cheaper I don't think anyone would buy it, it doesn't have that casual feeling the Wii did

-Does not play DVDs or blue rays so price can be justified

-Tablet controller is weird, if I wanted to use a tablet for gaming I would just buy a samsung tablet or Ipad

-Same or even less 3rd party support than the GameCube

Nintendo themselves aren't even releasing THAT many games for the system. Most are for 3DS (Which is pretty dope btw).

What do you think? Will the Wii U get discontinued in a couple years similar to dreamcast?

 

Wii U won't be "discontinued" anytime soon, but hopefully people like you thinking that these non-stop bullshit threads every other day are fresh, bright and original will be. Just saying.

Bingo. How many of these threads have we had this week? The fact that i haven't locked more of them is taking every ounce of my objectivity and strength of will.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

These threads need to stop. They're not even entertaining as joke threads anymore.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

No.

Nah they aren't going to discontinue, but I don't feel the Wii U will ever be close to the success that the Wii was (profit/sales wise).



leedlelee on 27 November 2013

Why would they discontinue it when they just started to advertise it???
I've seen more commercials for the Wii U than I've seen for PS4 since the PS4 actually launched...
I haven't seen any Spanish language ads though (I live in New York)...
They might want to consider making some...



Have a nice day...

gotta love thw people saying nochance as if NINTENDO have the sole decision on it. retailers and consumers have equal say and the reality is if sales continue to lag like this retailers will give x1 and ps4 its space giving NINTENDO no choice.

even if sales pick up a little it would still be on GC levels since its drastically behind it at this point.

so 3 scenarios. 1. sales dont pick up and Nintendo discontinues it real fast. 2. sales raise slightly and nintendo introduces a console faster than planned (2016). 3. sales drastically increase ensuring Nintendo to stick it out a bit
