No new games? Can't sell a system without a game to play.  

I bought a Wii U thinking Nintendo was going to support it in the near term, but they have no plans to release games until mid 2013 to xmas 2013.  So we get stuck with a system that will be 1 year old by the time we get to play a worthwhile game, and that game will have been designed for a system designed in 2010.  If anyone thinks nintendo console generation last past 2015, you'll be crazy.

So you believe that they will release a new console by 2015?

No, I believe they will just let it die out like they did the Wii.

I HIGHLY doubt they designed this very complex gamepad just to support it for 2years and 2months, they definetly designed it for it to last a good 5-6 years. With that being said, skyward sword, both kirbys, xenoblade,  last story and many more (too lazy to go look it up online) is what you call letting it die?

 The Wii U is simply a Wii with radeon graphics.  If you think they spent a lot of time designing this system, you are wrong.  I am willing to bet this is the fastest developed Nintendo system ever.  The gamepad is just an afterthought.  Great idea, but they should not have sacraficed system hardware just to get this in at a 300$ pricepoint.

That's not how it works dude. Companies spend millions of dollars in R&D (Research and Development), you can't just simple buy PC components and sell it to the public. Console manufactures spend years looking for custom components to reduce heat and watt consumption, and all of those components are custom made.
