Bollocks. They'll stick to their 5-6 year cycle, as always.

So my opinion is that for its type of games/players WiiU is a perfect 'good enough' console and could be easily supported by Nintendo for 8-10 years. It has double screen experience, it has classic controls, it has motion controls, it has balance board controls. It has a blueray disk which is big enough for anything and a possibility to extend a hard drive to the limits you want. 

I've been saying this for a while. It's good to finally find someone who has the same belief as I do.

Hahaha, no. The next home console will be out by 2016. The Wii U will have a 4 year lifespan, perhaps being supported while the next gen console is out.

Lifespan means how long it's on the market. So if Wii-U would be produced for another four years after it's successor is released, it would have a 8 year life span.


If it's supported while it's successor is out, it'll only be for like a year. They aren't wasting their money supporting a failed console.



In the bottom of the (blue) ocean yes.

If Nintendo bring out new console in 2016 then it will lack game library (Nintendo can make 5 games only for a year at max and user still buy only for thier games only) compared to others and it will only have power close to PS4 which we can easiy say based on Nintendo past mostly and also considering they want low power and costing less console. Also i doubt about third party to support that new console unless its similar architecture to PS4/Xbone which i doubt it. So, i think Nintendo is done with Home console and they should better making a portable (or) console with new kind of gimmick with QOL like Wii did as they can't compete with hardcore gamers and third party of PS4/Xbox one.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

In 6 years from now, everyone will be playing with VIRTUAL REALITY headgear. You need to push 3D on two high resolution screen.

No. Just no.



If nintendo has anything proven so far, than it is that they don't want longevity. Their profits come from trying to sell new or minor improved pieces of hardware more frequently than their compeditors.



No its sales are too low. It will lucky to have a 4 year life span.
