If they release it to soon they will: - Alienate the WiiU supporters they have now - When the next round of consoles from Sony and MS come out Nintendo will be in the same boat they are now with the WiiU. - Consoles NEED to be released within months of each other not years. These risks are what will prevent Nintendo from releasing to soon. Besides the WiiU is doing fine enough, the only people that seem to be having an issue with it are people that are to hung up on how a game looks rather then the fun behind it. If you are buying a WiiU for 3rd party games then I am sorry, that's your fault for not looking into things further. Nintendo has always been about first party games first. I buy Nintendo for the 1st party games... I have a PC/PS4 for multiplats and other exclusives. Nintendo is in no rush to push out a new console anyway, they made enough money on the WiiU to "sit a gen out" as some people seem to think. |
In reality, even Nintendo knows Wii U is a flop. So it's not a high priority. Sure they'll make sure it gets its token number of Mario/Zelda/Mario Kart etc. games and maybe even throw out a Metroid towards the end of 2016.
Launching the successor to the 3DS is no.1 priority internally at Nintendo right now, I'd gauruntee it, it just so happens that the 3DS successor basically will eventually replace both the 3DS and Wii U.
