I'm afraid of buying a WiiU now, not gonna spend 300 dollars on a console that might get slashed pretty soon. And Nintendo acts as if nothing's going on.

Seriously, Wii U is now officially being Dreamcasted. They might want to carry on the console for 4 more years with terrible losses or just give up on the Home console business. Unless miracles happen, that's the only 2 options they have.

9 million Wii U sold during the FY, 1 Billion operating profit and the HW forecasts predictions will fall short so badly (Wii U will be lucky to sell 4 million on the FY), and serious consequences will arise from that during the shareholders roundtable for the end of the FY. Won't be surprised if there are resignations en masse, or if stocks drop to abysmal and scary levels. Won't even be surprised if there's physical violence during the presentation, to be honest.

Nintendo probably let their only chance to recover fly past. Farewell.

Lets be honest, you were never going to buy a wii u :)

The bolded bit of your post is what I hope happens. As for the rest of it, it reminds me of bad tabloid journalism.

"..physical violence during the presentation"... hilarious.

Oh yes I was, and I probably will. Though not for 300 dollars. Price will drop soon. That last part was intended to be ridiculous, of course you noticed (I hope)

Looks like you don't know me if you believe I won't be buying a Nintendo console. It's just time to accept that this console is a failure, and that Nintendo may want to keep it alive even if it's a disaster saleswise, just to avoid following Sega's steps into irrelevance.
