Nintendo could be forced to discontinue the Wii U next year?

That is according to the Motley Fool. Here is excerpt from the article followed by a link.

 

 

 

The Wii U has been a total failure

The failure of the Wii U is no secret. Originally, Nintendo had expected to sell 5 million consoles by last March -- but by the end of September, Nintendo had shipped fewer than 4 million units. In an effort to juice sales, Nintendo cut the Wii U's price by $50 in late August, leading to a 200% sales jump in September. But when the base number is so low, large percentage increases look better than they really are. Even with the spike in sales, Nintendo sold just 300,000 consoles from July through September.

 

 

Nintendo's management still believes that it can sell 9 million Wii U consoles by the end of March. That seems utterly insane in light of the increased competition Nintendo's console will face in the next few weeks.

What do y'all think of this? Just more of Nintendo doom & gloom,

and the sky is falling, or is the Wii U on the verge of critical mass?

 With the game lineup that we've seen for next year, it would be

hard to fathom that the end is near. Especially with games like

Smash Bros. and Mario Kart on the horizon.  I guess stranger things

have happened.
