What the hell is going on up in this thread?
You can't make predictions on gaming, we are all a fickle lot. I used to love Nintendo. Now I don't and literally can't stand anything they put out these days. One minute Nintendo was a sinking ship, the next flying higher than all the rest.
The WiiU could be a flop, it could be a wild success, or it could even just be and also ran. Who knows. We can only know really what we do/don't want and possibly what our friends do/don't want.
I won't touch the WiiU or the 3DS with a 10ft pole, neither would most of my friends. That doesn't say much about what the rest of the world will do.
In Summary: People claiming the WiiU and Nintendo are Doomed and people claiming WiiU and Nintendo will be a wild success are Full Of Shit.
Carry on you crazy freaks.

Only difference is there is one constant in Nintendo business history, and that's the handheld business.
Nintendo has always been successful in that market, despite the Nintendophobia that existed against their more kiddy offerings, even Pokemon.
Now, the Wii tapped into that success, and the WiiU even more so, we see Nintendo molding its home console strategy more and more after its handheld strategy, and then some.
To me, that's the constant that makes me think the WiiU is a sure bet and a success. So, using past data, I'm offering what is in my view a sound prediction.
