Wii U is being phased out by Nintendo themselves.

Only in the same sense that every console is in the process of being phased out the day it launches.

And somehow this console is supposed to last until 2018...

Because a general merchandise/grovery store chain in the UK (which hasn't really sold it in years anway) reclaims some shelf space?

Yep, this totally harms the US, Japan and rest of Europe sales and can't possibly last another 2.5 years because ASDA drops support it never really had to begin with.

Not on any big titles though, it will still carry those.... Which is all they really ever carried in the first place...
