Some people are really dellusional thinking this is only going to happen to the WiiU (sales wise)... lets wait until PS4 and the nextbox are out to see how they fare.

The problem with Nintendo is the constant delay of their big games, I for one hope they have a lot of partnerships such as the one with Atlus for the FE/SMT game, that would allow them to create a better first party ecosystem.

some people are really delusional thinking this is going to happen to the other consoles. People better hope not or else Nintendo wont have a company  soon since the game industry would be a dead one.

If the other consoles underperform, it wouldn't be a problem for Nintendo. Japan already switched to handhelds, and Nintendo isn't going to get much love from third parties in the west, anyway. Also, with the NES / Wii, they have shown they can singlehandedly create a userbase on their own (not for the Wii U, of course, but whatever comes next).

The immediate future of the game industry doesn't hinge on the success of the PS4 / Nextbox. There's still the PC, mobile gaming, other consoles (Steam Box?), and PS360 out there. Just look at the PSP in Japan for example, it's a 10 year old console that's still outperforming its successor in software. It's a mistake to assume the PS4 / Nextbox are going to sell well right out the gate, lots of things can happen.
