So I was wondering. Is this the end of the Wii U in japan? Can we call it a "dead" system there?


It will get 1-2 week spikes for Mario Kart and Smash Bros., but yeah, Nintendo may be out of bullets there otherwise. The sad thing is it seems like the Wii U was designed for the Japanese household (small, low electricity consumption in the wake of Japanese enegery conservation efforts, quasi-handheld like controller as the main novelty, 2D Mario, Monster Hunter, DQ, games near launch, etc.). 


Damn it's a shame but home consoles are not doing well in Japan either way. I think console gaming there as a whole is dying in Japan. Maybe the PS4 is different though.
