I think it's unwise to buy a Wii U. You never know if it might get discontinued in a year or two..

-Nintendo stopped production on the original Wii (which had similar sales to Wii U at the time) - They had hope that Wii U will sale well and already have projects on the go for it, unlike Wii.

-Each Wii U is sold at a loss while the Wii was sold for profit - Valid point

-Xbox 360/ PS3 are selling better than Wii U despite the older systems being just as expensive - By this metric PS4 could be around its last years and PS5 around the corner considering how PS2 was outselling PS3.

-PS4 and Xbox One just launched - Ah, that's good, I guess. And if you base this around hype, PS3 should be around 200m units sold by now, while Wii and 360 around 15-20m

-Despite new games and a price cut happening Wii U sales haven't really picked up - Valid point. Userbase is out

-Even if the system was cheaper I don't think anyone would buy it, it doesn't have that casual feeling the Wii did - Nothing have the Wii feel, yet PS360, Vita and 3DS are outselling it. Price is only one part of the puzzle.

-Does not play DVDs or blue rays so price can be justified - Neither Wii.

-Tablet controller is weird, if I wanted to use a tablet for gaming I would just buy a samsung tablet or Ipad - Taste. And you have a bad one.

-Same or even less 3rd party support than the GameCube - GameCube had better third party support than the Wii and it failed.

Nintendo themselves aren't even releasing THAT many games for the system. Most are for 3DS (Which is pretty dope btw).

What do you think? Will the Wii U get discontinued in a couple years similar to dreamcast?

There.
