How long will the WII U live anyways ?


If Nintendo's 30-year-history as a console maker is anything to rely on, 4½ to 6 years in all.

If by "live" you mean "self-proclaimed hardcore gamers consider it relevant," then it's already dead.

If you mean for how many years Nintendo themselves will support it with games, then probably three to four years from now.

If you mean for how long third parties will support it with games, then probably 4 to 5 years from now, digital included.
