Judging strictly by headlines, one would think the WiiU's sales are in freefall. That was the case through spring/summer/early fall 2013. Not the case anymore. It's staying right where it is, possibly a little ahead relative to seasonal sales levels. It basically has some of the same momentum it had immediately post-holiday, post-launch. Not necessarily a breakthrough success, more like the beginning of a bittersweet victory. Firmly charting a Gamecube-like legacy, not a dreamcast one.
There also hasn't been a major WiiU release in, well, several months. As for when the major releases do come -- yes you probably will not hear the end of it. And you will be sick of it. Get over it.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
