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

I was about to highlight that same point. What a statement. I guess the almost half a million people that bought a 3DS last week and many times that who will buy it over the holidays are seriously damage by brand Nintendo.

You may forgive them for droping the wii u that but I am sure most of the 3.9m wouldn't.

I don't think 3DS sales are really relevant when we talk about home consoles. Plenty of people I know own a 3DS but wouldn't touch a Wii U. 

The Wii U IS damaging the Nintendo brand in home consoles . The ~90 million people who owned a Wii and not a Wii U are evidence of that. They are losing marketshare because people don't see it as a worthwhile investment. Marketshare is extremely hard to recapture and Nintendo have only done it one time in their history.
