You are keep quoting the same thing....Nintendo is not going to abandon the wii u anytime soon .....you fail to realize hardware sales does not matter as much ...it's the software that matters and accessories(amibos,merchandise etc) in which where the most money is made not hardware ...nintendo is making a lot of money off their first party software in which almost always sell in the millions or tens of millions ....Nintendo does not put much thought in market share because their first party software sells well..... Xbox and Sony care about market share because their first party doesn't sell as well as Nintendos and they rely more on third party to bring in revenue ...so the more consoles on the market the more 3rd party sells makes them a profit....what I'm trying to basically say hardware sells does not equate to software sales /merchandise ....why do you think Sony and Xbox sell their consoles at a loss because they feel they can make it back in software and xbox live or psn subscriptions etc ...reality is the hardware sells plays a small part in revenue for Sony ,nintendo or Microsoft ..just saying ....that is why as long as nintendo software sells well they will not abandon the wii u and maximize their profits no matter how low ther console sales are

Huuh what? Hardware AND sofware sales are at all time lows. And read again, I said that wiiU's successor will probably launch in 2017. It's their new handheld that will definetly be out in 2016.

Huh what? Do you realize the wii u and. 3ds will sell at a profit from now until the end of the generation .......do you know that the attach rate to Nintendo first party games are making a lot of profit also I see you conveniently left out accessories ..like I said amibo willmake them a lot of money ....revenue is not only software and hardware sales ..that's the point you are missing .....they are profiting regardless of low console sales you are painting the wrong picture and not seeing the full picture ...just saying

Smaller installed base equals lower revenues from accessories and software. It's pretty logical. So if their hardware and software sales are at historical lows, then you can more then likely assume that accessories sales are also at all time lows. It's just plain logic. And no, amiibos aren't going to save a billion dollar corporation like Nintendo unless they sell hundreds of millions which is obviously not going to happen. They're going to make Nintendo a pretty penny, but no where near enough to cover their decline in HW and SW sales.
