really? you can't understand why there are so much doom threads, when its selling worse then dreamcast and third party support for the console is a about to go the way of the dinosaur, and after a year of being on the market, it already saw a 30% price drop. wal-mart is selling the wiiu delux with nintendoland for 249.00, thats almost the same price as the ps3 in only one year in the market.

The WiiU will pass the Dreamcast next year.  Nintendo hasn't had third party support since the SNES.  The ps3 had multiple hardware revisions and major price cuts during it's first year on the market.  What is your point exactly?

3 out 4 of those consoles have been failures. and still all of those consoles that failed had much better third party support then wiiu.

And yet despite 3 out of 4 of those consoles being so called "failures" Nintendo is still around and kicking. The original X-Box entered the console arena with only a small margin between it and the Gamecube and Microsoft soldiered on with a more successful 360. The Wii U won't doom Nintendo. I think Nintendo will seriously only bow out of the hardware market if they release multiple consoles in a row that sell sub 15 million. On third party support: The PS Vita gets more third party support than the 3DS, but the 3DS still outsells it because it has a large amount of high quality first party titles.

As for Japanese sales in the last year, which was mentioned earlier this thread. The Wii U is very comparable to the first year of the PS3 and PS Vita, so things could go either way still in Japan. I highly doubt that (and will be highly surprised if) X-Box One is going to make a mark in Japan, so I think the home console market is going to be shared by Sony and Nintendo, very much like it was in the Gamecube era.
