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.


Actually I typoed.  I meant to say 2013/2014 would be the best years on WiiU with a new system coming out 2016.  While I do expect it to mostly match up with P4/XB1 I also expect some Nintendo magic (Wii/DS kind not 3DS/WiiU kind) to really set it apart from the other consoles.  The fact that it (can) have huge mass market appeal AND port over all games pretty much perfectly will make it a very compelling system.
