Maybe, it all depends on the PS4/720. We need to wait and see on what they do to the Wii-U


Exactly. They could very well Dreamcast the Wii U out of the market.

The Dreamcast didn't have the likes of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Zelda to fall back on, and if you're going to point out once again that the Gamecube did, it wasn't forced out of the market. ;)

Yeah I don't believe Nintendo will go the way of Sega any soon. Unless they keep putting out Virtual Boy after Virtual Boy. ;)

That said, yeah, we could reprase my quote as: "Exactly. They could very well turn the Wii U into a Gamecube of the generation". Not out, but doing quite worse compared to the rivals.

I expect the Wii U will be the 8th gen's Gamecube. It will outsell the Gamecube as the market has expanded since then, but I don't think it will capture the mass market. That said, I still believe it can be successful; I expect it to sell a respectable 50m or so lifetime and turn a tidy profit.
