Wii U is not "doomed" as in like.. bring Nintendo to a financial crisis and/or needing to discountine the console. But if we're looking at things in terms of comparing to the past, the arrow is definitly pointing down.. in fact, WAY down from the sales monster that was the Wii.
Yet, the vast majority of the Wii U's great games have yet to be released, so I believe it is still too early to proclaim doom, and in fact, I think many of the games already announced, combined with the very appealing new $300 model with NSMB U bunbled, will move some SERIOUS hardware, moreso than people think. Wii U is far from done, and in fact, I still believe it'll go on to have a life that in many ways parellels the SNES.. That is to say; a noticable decline from the previous generation, caught in the red ocean with its competitors, but will still be a solid console in its own right with a very strong library.
Let's just hope we won't have to go through another N64 and Gamecube before Nintendo realizes their miscues and gets it right this time. ;)
