Again, these threads really need to stop. There is literally no way, at all, that the Wii U could in any conceivable fashion wind up being "this generation's Dreamcast". The DC, while was a decent system and had at least a few great games, was overall a miserable failure, so much so that Sega went under as a first party company. Nintendo has too much money in their coffers, and too much business sense, for that to happen. There is no chance in hell the Wii U sells lower than the Gamecube, which itself sold over twice as much as the Dreamcast. In fact I think the Wii U will sell over 40 million lifetime, at least, which would put it well above even the N64.
I don't honestly think any of the three consoles are going to sell as much as they did last gen. I think when it hit, games like Guitar Hero, and games with motion controls, so-called "casual" styled games, etc. were fairly new and big at the time. Thus those consoles sold a lot. Plus a lot of 360s were re-bought due to RROD (lol).
But seriously.......these various threads with different people asking and then debating the SAME basic proposition: "Is Nintendo DOOMED?", really really just need to stop. They're not only ridiculous, but also getting rather tedious. There's only so much that people can sit on internet forums and talk a specific topic in circles, isn't there? Wait what am I saying..........
