Wii U should never have been released in the first place.

The way I see it people need to stop saying that a short console lifespan support or incremental hardware updates are screwing people over because that's on the BUYER since THEY KNOW what their getting into ...

They're gonna ruin all the good reputation they've build with the Wii U.

No way are Nintendo going to sully the good reputation that the WiiU built.  They've never had a home console with that kind of market performance before.  Just wait until this E3 when we see a massive influx of WiiU exclusives from Nintendo; then you'll see what they really think of the console.

Come on, the average console life is 5ish years. If NX comes out at the end of the year that will give the Wii U a solid 4 year life, only one year shorter than average. It ain't THAT big a deal.

Four years for arguably the worst console ever made, NX is needed.

But the NX is coming out in 2017/2018. Also, it's a handheld. No worries.

E3 2015 wants its thread back. I was salty about this for a while. The reality is, they've laid too much groundwork already.

Nintendo should've kept tight lips about the NX last year and announced "Paper Mario" and the "Pokken" port @ E3 (ending the show with a second teaser for "Zelda U". That would have given us no reason to doubt the future of Wii U and they could have unleashed the NX on us this year.

Instead, they created a backlash amongst fans and killed the (then growing) interest in the Wii U.

What growing interest? The system has been a turd sales wise pretty much from the week after its launch to today. 

In NPD sales it's had like 2 (*two*) months above 100k in its entire life cycle outside of Nov/Dec. That is pathetic, even the Dreamcast I'm pretty sure did better than that. 

In Japan it got a boost from Splatoon, but even then it's weekly sales were anemic at 10-15k/week.

The PS4.5 is not the PS5. The NX will probably be very distinguishable from the Wii U while Sony just releases the exact same console with minor upgrades and lets you pay twice of you are stupid enough to fall for it.
