Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: Wii U will be discontinued by 2015

If they do that the few people who still buy Nintendo consoles will not want to buy the next one fearing that it'll be dropped t too fast and they'll prefer to go to the more stable PS/Xbox brands.

What is this? A formula of death of course.



Not sure they plan to drop the U, otherwise they wouldn't have greenlit Fatal Frame V. Recent signs tend to show they're determined to fight to the very end. But I guess E3 will tell...



No doubt Wii U is struggling, but Nintendo will face a huge loss. They don't really need to compete with PS4/Xbone to be successful. Nintendo appeals to its own kind of demographic and can live off that, at least for a good while.

Also, X and Bayonetta 2, those are pretty big. Fatal Frame is a system seller, just like ZombiU, Nintendo is probably realizing it right now. Here in Brazil, everybody that buys a WiiU gets ZombiU as well, it is praised as the best WiiU game in terms of gamepad use all around.

so, these crazy horror games are a sure shot for a steady, even if small, install base increase.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Wow this is the WORST prediction I have ever seen. I think you might actually be wrong on all points. Except for the point where you said "Smash and MK8 will propel WiiU to soaring new heights, smashing all records and causing every PS4 and Xbone console ever made to catch on fire and explode "Oh wait you didn't say that I did...pretty bold eh?

What do you mean discontinued? I can see them stop production around Nov-Dec 2015 and sell stock units for 2016 as I'm expecting a new console by 2016 at holidays.

I can also see Zelda HD been moved to the next hw and maybe a Wii U versión, same as TP.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


They cancelled a well selling handheld in about the same span of time I don't see why the Wii U would be exempt considering its selling quite poorly. With that said they cancelled said handheld and replaced it with their greatest selling system of all time so who knows.



Nah, dec of 2016 is that time and new console in 2017.



This is the worst prediction ever wii u will go atleast tell 2017 lol at these dumb doom threads
