| BlueFalcon said: Even if the jump won't be as large graphically, if developers have to significantly cut corners to get 3rd party multi-platform games to even run on the Wii U, or worse, some of those games in 2017-2018 will be so advanced they wouldn't even be able to run on the Wii U, then the console would be in trouble. |
By 2017, the WiiU's fate will have been sealed for better or worse. Either it underperforms in the market and squeaks by due to Nintendo's first party games and cheaper price or it amasses a nice install base and does very well for them.
In any case, we can almost surely expect two things: First, people will support the majority of 3rd party multiplats on the other consoles anyway, and second, Nintendo will be readying their next console by those dates, so the above bolded is irrelevant.
