Ur making stuff up again, other than the original Gameboy what Nintendo handheld had a much longer generation? GBA was over 2 years shorter than GC, DS was a few months longer than Wii. Ur claim is based on absolutely nothing.

So how about skip that last year that has little support and go right into the next generation instead of wasting that time catering to a small audience? People will get over the slightly shorter lifespan if the successor is awesome.


Let me spell this out for nice and slow for ya. For the majority of nintendo handheld there's 7 years or longer in between them. 

GB released 1989
GBA released  2001
DS released  2004
3DS released 2011

Who's making shit up? 

To bolded part, what if the successor to the wii u turns out to be another wii u?

 Moving unto the next gen early doesn't mean all of the problems that plagued the wii u will be fixed with a new console or won't transfer to the new console.

If you and others want more games, why don't you just ask nintendo to make more games for this gen's console? 

DS was Nov 2004 to Feb 2011, that's 6 years and 3 months, so Gameboy is the only to have over 7 years. Like I said ur making things up.

That's why I said IF, of course if the successor makes the same mistakes or creates brand new ones than it will be in a bad situation, what I'm saying is if it's a well thought out device with a strong and well executed strategy that doesn't make a bunch of mistakes than people will forgive & forget that Nintendo gave Wii U a slightly shorter than average cycle.

I'm not talking about my personal preference, I would be more than fine if Nintendo just continued pumping out 3DS & Wii U games for the next few years, I'm talking about them as a company. They can't continue to support a device that sells a mere 3 million/year that doesn't move a lot of software with the exception of a few titles, that plus 3DS hardware/software sales declining every year, this year is set to be the worst in something 20 years and next year will be worse. Also consider a few things Iwata said, in May 2014 he said it would be about 2 years for them to reinvent gaming and he has promised "Nintendo-like profits" (100 billion yen/$800 million) for next fiscal year. Don't those 2 statements kinda support the idea of new hardware in 2016?
