WiiU is 2 years old today, how much do you expect it to last?

I'll say 2 more years at least.

I think Ninty's goal is to make a Wii U that is mobile (aka Fusion) but will be rebranded and hh/console sold separately (possible combo deal). For next gen Nintendo has to make the hardware compelling, and that is the lesson Ninty must take from this current gen, its not ALL about great games (which Wii U has in abundance).

Just for curiosity but, what do you mean with "compelling hardware"?

Ninty can use a cheatcode (raw power...look at PS4 lets be real) or the innovation route like Wii.  The Wii U gamepad was neither, in fact, the gamepad would have been the perfect "icing" for a system like XB1 or PS4 to separate itself from the competition.  The gamepad is a hardcore device but since there is not enough power, the hardcore (you know who i mean) ignore the system.  Its like ninty trying to sell pizza (gamepad) but without cheese or toppings (power).
