How is this comparable? Ipad / Tablets don't have actual buttons for input. The games aren't comparable. Not a real alternative, unless poorer games is the tradeoff to not paying 299.99... wait.

What do you think? Will the Wii U get discontinued in a couple years similar to dreamcast? |
Sega ran out of money. They may been able to turn it around, but who knows. Nintendo won't be able to turn this ship around, but it won't be due to running out of money.

-Same or even less 3rd party support than the GameCube |
True. Long term the droughts will be more pronounced than the worst of the Wii's lifecycle. This is discouraging.
|
-Each Wii U is sold at a loss while the Wii was sold for profit |
Eventually the Wii U will be sold for a profit. But this is hardly a reason to discontinue a console. Loss leaders is not new in this industry (although new to Nintendo).
|
-Even if the system was cheaper I don't think anyone would buy it, it doesn't have that casual feeling the Wii did |
The phrase you're looking for is broad - game appeal. The Wii U doesn't have it. Or, it's getting lost in the mixed message Nintendo is presenting.
|
-Does not play DVDs or blue rays so price can be justified |
Annoying, but it does have free online + streaming services.
