Now what is the biggest reason you are on the fence about getting the Wii U?

I also share your concern with WiiU. I've been predicting it's early demise long before it launched. And once Nintendo starts to focus on a new system the old one is abandoned in it's last year which we've seen again and again. That'd mean 2012 and 2013 would likely be the only 'good' years for Nintendo games on WiiU and considering this years line-up, that's scary.

The things you sometimes say...

It looks like you really believe that Nintendo will launch a new console in 2015 in order to "catch up" to Sony and Microsoft. There are two big problems though:

1) Nintendo doesn't drop their systems this fast.
2) Matching Sony and Microsoft in horsepower won't lead to more third party games, making a new console moot.

Although if your belief is along the lines of "You thought the Wii U was a disaster? Just wait until you see how insane Nintendo's next move is going to be!", then it would at least make sense. Complete self-destruction.

Virtualboy says hello!

Nintendo dropped that after 7months in America, and after 5month in Japan.

So yeah, Nintendo did drop a console fast, cuz they fucked up. Now will the same happen with the WiiU?

Well that's debatable, if Nintendos hardware sales tank further, and their software also tanks , then they'll have no option but to axe the WiiU especially when the WiiU is sold at a loss, it would be an unsustainable business to continue.
If however, Nintendo is able to salvage the WiiU enough to carve out a niche for it's self where the hardware sells decently enough, and software sells well enough, and they're able to start making profit on hardware even after a potential price cut, then no Nintendo will ride out the WiiU like they did the GameCube.

Just thought I'd point this out cuz the Virtualboy is all but forgotten, it gets no love despite being part of Nintendos great history.
