In 2015 they will make a new system with better specs than PS4. Wii U will become the cheapman/casual system and sell helthily for a year or two more.


Amazing.  I made that prediction a year ago.   Thought I was the only one to think WiiU will have a short lifespan, and be replaced by a true 8th gen console.

Not replaced, more like GBA to DS. Nintendo will support both Wii U and  new system as long as possible.

While I agree WiiU will still be sold, I disagree it'll be supported.  Nintendo is terrible at supporting older systems. Both GC and Wii had game droughts for their last years.  Heck, Nintendo can't even effectively support two platforms anymore with development times, let alone three.  

Plus Nintendo has merged their mobile and console hardware teams so the new console would likely replace both 3DS and WiiU and probably be a WiiU-esque device that'll play on your TV and on the road (but will need to be more than that, because such a device is already available (Galaxy S4) so it'll have to be at least as powerful as PS4/720 as well).

If anything 3DS will continue to be supported, but not WiiU.  If Nintendo does release a new system in 2015, (I said 2016) 2014 would be the last year for any main games.
