I agree with him that Nintendo should kill Wii U ASAP. November 2015 - a new home console, a truely next-gen one. They can still fight back, but they have to stop these shenanigans and go with a regular, good console that 3rd parties could develop for. Add all the 1st party games already released and being prepared for next year and they could finally have a strong hand and not look like the red-headed step-child.


I want to tell you something, but I would get banned, let me just leave it as saying that would not be wise in the slightest.

The core nintendo fans are the ones that have adopted early. You're screwing them over with a 3 year cycle?! REALLY?! no. Just no.

If they did what you said do you know what would happen? Nintendo would lose a lot of fans who bought the wii U out the gate. Its launch would be the worst launch in the history of video game launches and you guys will say the exact same thing you are saying now. "Kil; the console launch a better one as soon as possible". Do you know which company basically did this which left the console part of the industry? Sega. You guys are asking nintendo to pull a sega which is a dumbass move!

They support the wii U, satisfy their fans for a 5-8 year cycle then jump into next gen using the momentum from the wii U. That's what nintendo needs to do. I'm sorry but if you ran nintendo they wouldn't be around right now that's for sure.


8 year cycle, lol keep dreaming. 

Nintendo will support it for the same amount of time Microsoft supported the first XBox IMO and longer than they supported the Game Boy Advance. 

That's good enough and all they're obligated to do. 

A nice bonus like giving Wii U owners a free game when they purchase the future Fusion platform will also go a long way in easing any tensions. 

Zelda will be a nice send off for the Wii U especially if it is the real deal in terms of being better than TP and Skyward Sword. More than a set amount of time I think Nintendo just needs to ensure their 1st/2nd party games deliver. If Mario 3D World, Smash U, Mario Kart 8, Zelda U, and things like Bayonetta and Xenoblade are all AAA experiences, that's more important than having X years of support. 

Lets be honest too Nintendo bailed the f*ck outta the GameCube largely after 2005. The only game from any of Nintendo's internal major studios for the GameCube released after March 2005 was Zelda: TP which was moved to the Wii and released later on the GCN (to add insult to injury). The "big" holiday game for the GameCube in November 2005 was freaking Mario Party 6, lol.
