But the Wii U IS BY ALL MEAN A FAILURE. It WILL NEVER get better because, deal with it, the context has changed, it's not the Wii era 2006 but the next-gen era 2013.

The Battle will be between the PS4 and Xbox One. The DRM debacle gave the PS4 a big headstart but as usual the casual and couch potatoes will decide which one wins, nowing that in Asia the Xbox One won't even be available as well as in many other countries, that currently the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 in Europe and Asia, and the X360 sold more in the US, but is now selling as much as PS3.


"The Battle" is between PS4 and Xbox One because the demographic those systems serve are very similar. Both systems will also share many third party multiplat games, so the consensus to get either system will be unclear. 

Even if you considered the Wii U a failure (even Nintendo does to some degree), it's still a profitable failure. Despite the slow sales, I believe enough software is being sold where Nintendo is still making money. Because of that I'm not so worried about the Wii U's future, since there will only be more and more games exclusive to the system that will help sway even more gamers to purchase it.

So, in the end, the main question for the future of the Wii U is how much money it's going to make for Nintendo.
