This'll be interesting, Iwata had better have good plans for this coming financial year, or else. Dropping Wii U is not a good idea now, but I can see with 3.6 million units shipped for the rest of the financial year, they've realized that this console is NOT gonna take off as planned. Perhaps their next console will come sooner than later, but it could potentially be related enough to Wii U's architecture so that when they launch, they can release games, and sell them for both consoles. I've been wondering about Iwata's comment regarding how their next console will "absorb" Wii U's architecture, maybe to a point where it can allow for ports from Wii U to their next console, or vice versa, so that if they launch a console quickly, they'll be able to cross-gen release some of them, or maybe have differences as well. The architectural differences between GC / Wii and Wii U are pretty large, I'm not surprised that they want to find something similar to Wii U for their next console, so that the "learning" process won't be as bad this time.
