I think so long as they released the games they had already announced for the Wii U I would forgive them for dropping support. They could sweeten the deal by giving away some virtual console titles.

The console is a failure and it's starting to cause irreperable damage to the brand in the eyes of consumers, third parties and shareholders. As a Nintendo fan I think I'd rather they pulled the plug now and came up with ways to fix those relationships rather than further isolate themselves for the next four years.


Not even close lol. But yes Wii U is a failure. Period

Anecdotal evidence only, but even users on Nintendolife (the fortress of irrational Nintendo fans!) seem to be getting sick of the system. I personally have gone from never considering owning a Sony or Microsoft console to accepting it's going to be a neccesity if I want to play more than 3 games a year.

As much as Nintendo like to pretend they're not competing with Microsoft and Sony, they definitely are. If I get a PS4 you can bet I'll be spending less money on my Wii U.
