Not market saturation, but 2014 will probably be its peak year. It peaked in Japan last year so sales can only go down there, and in the rest of the world it only saw moderate gains with its two biggest games.

Maaaaaybe with a $100 cut around the time Zelda releases and some good bundles it can regain lost ground and end up slightly above this years numbers.

I think Nintendo will release a successor late 2016 at the latest.

$100 off O.o Jezusssssss :p

Also Nintendo going to release a successor in 2016? at the latest too? I might disagree there especially with the earlier statements they made.

I just don't see Wii U lasting till late 2017. Three more years! Sales are already bad now, I can't imagine how they'll be in 2017.

I think 2017 holiday (that would be 5 years on the market) is a safe bet. You dont want to cut consumers trust, though its not like its that many lol.

Also I dont see 2014 as the peak year. I see 2015 as it. 2014 might of had the 2 biggest HC franchises released but it only also had 1 spin off and 1 other main game. (1st party).

Here's how i see it.

2015:

~Prce Cut to $250 maybe in Fall (September-ish)

~Much More Games than 2014 (Talking 1st Party). Kirby/Splatoon/MP10/XCX/Star Fox/Zelda/Yoshi with possible rumored HD Remake/Port and 2-3 Unnannounced Games (This tends to happen alot). There is also that FE x SMT game if it still exist.

2016: (My Personal Prediction)

~Amiibo Game (A game that revolves around Amiibos, i dont know XD

~Some Major Announcements: 1-2 surprises and maybe Metroid + AC + FZero

2017:

~Price Cut to $200-$220

New Console releases Nov^
