Eh, I wouldn't go that far. I doubt in fall 2017 we'll be sitting here talking about new Wii U releases. Wii U will be dead and buried by then for all effective purposes. 

Its big difference between supported and discontinued console.

Who cares really. 

Look at the GameCube support in 2006. Aside from Zelda, which was effectively repositioned as a Wii launch title and GCN owners to add insult to injury had to wait even longer to play it, Nintendo released like 2 games for the GameCube in all of 2006. Effectively they pulled the plug on that system in 2005, and really 2004 if we're totally honest about it. 

 

Like I wrote, Its big difference between supported and discontinued console.

Wii (except Wii Mini) was discontinued in October 2013. so Wii U will not be discontinued at least before end of 2017, in that case Wii U would be discontinued after 5 years while Dreamcast was discontinued after only 2 years.
