i completly doubt that we will see a new nintendo home console soon.
Just ask yourself, whats wrong with the wii u?
Is it only the "low" power? Definitly not, scince many many games in 2013, 2014 and still 2015 gets releases for Ps3 and Xbox 360 which are both much weaker as the wii u. 150 vs 400 Gflops. 500 vs 2000 mb ram. OFO vs IO CPUs.
The Wii Us Hardware is definitly not Nintendos problem at the moment. A new super powerfull device will still sell as bad as the wii U.
Here are the main fails for the Wii U:
- Bad Reputation to be a casual console for kids, who actual play on smartphones
- Hardcore Gamers are not interested in the Wii U, scince several reasons:
- Well, low power could be one reason. But not the main reason. keep in mind, the ps3 still sell about as good per month as the wii u and is weaker
- Now Third Party Support
- People played on Xbox/PS for years and got many friends on Xbox live or PSN. They will not switch the console, they will stay at their friends.
A new powerfull Wii u will change nothing. It will sell bad again. If they would release a powerfull system in 2016, it wont make ps4 and xbox one owner to switch, scince they got just a new system.
People get consoles, because they want to use them for 5-6 years and are not forced to upgrade and co. otherwhise people get pcs.
A new powerfull Nintendo console in 2016 will fail. People still will get Ps4/xbox - where there friends are at.
Also, even if nintendo bring a new system; Third Party wouldnt support the system till it gets a huge install base.
But it mostly cant get a huge install base without third party support.
Just check the Wii U´s year 2013. 2013 wii u was the most powerfull system, still none third party support. Still bad sales.
Im not sure if Nintendo will ever release a real powerhouse of a console. Maybe Wii U will be the last real home console and they try new things (NX).
Im sure Wii U will still be supported for several years.
Nintendo wont bring a new system till they fixed the problems i mentioned above.
