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.


No they wouldn't piss off their fans. I am one of them I buy every Nintendo console DAY 1.

Wii U is a disaster from a consumer point of view. I personally like the device but it just isn't mainstream. In order for them to grow they need to gain new customers. Nintendo fans are a dying bread. They cannot continue making a small percentage of the market happy it will not be viable in the long run.

I would rather they launch a new console 2016  (provided they can get signed agreements from 3rd parties to support the console if they bring it up to spec. I would include some sort of exist clause if they do not deliver on those contracts)
