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)

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

-Xbox 360/ PS3 are selling better than Wii U despite the older systems being just as expensive

-PS4 and Xbox One just launched

-Despite new games and a price cut happening Wii U sales haven't really picked up

-Even if the system was cheaper I don't think anyone would buy it, it doesn't have that casual feeling the Wii did

-Does not play DVDs or blue rays so price can be justified

-Tablet controller is weird, if I wanted to use a tablet for gaming I would just buy a samsung tablet or Ipad

-Same or even less 3rd party support than the GameCube

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?

1. Your wrong. Even if a system like Wii U is discontinued it will have exclusive gems you would be sorry for not playing. But The Wii U sill be ridden out for at least 5 years. Nintendo unlike Sony  can afford to do this and the sells will pick up as more exclusives are released. 

2. Nintendo stopped producing the Wii because of the confusion between the Wii and Wii U now there will only be the U and as thus no confusion nor will it undercut Wii U sells. (Another reason) But still no matter what you say there are places that if you ask about the Wii U or say you want one they will hand you a Wii. Also gamers still to this day ask questions like will COD Ghosts play on the Wii? This implies that there is still confusion out there. 

3. Tablet controller becomes second nature if and when you get ued to it p[lus your not getting the games on a normal tablet you are getting here. The third party support I will agree with. But then what did third parties at launch or sometimes after release that was exclusive to the system or hadn't been out for years. (Even Ninja Gaiden, Monster Hunter Tri. were released for last gen systems) We got Zombie U and Tank Tank Tank later Lego City Undercover, and a Sonic game?? not nearly enough. (I still say Rayman Legends if it was exclusive and released at launch would have done far better. 

 

4. Nintendo is dedicating most of 2014 to the Wii U and maybe on.

 

5. Sega was making very little to no money. Nintendo had a wad of cash to begin with and is making money off the 3DS. Nintendo is not going the way Sega and their Dreamcast did.
