Looks like a mistranslation. Wii U is done the moment they show NX anyway and they've confirmed they're showing NX this year. No one is going to buy a Wii U after that. |
Why did you choose the ''no one''? Nihilistic comment... They will be people who will buy wii u, of course if Nintendo still products it after NX release, wii u will probably get a price drop after nx disclosure, and it has never had a pricedrop... (No, 32gb version going from 349 to 299, due to 8gb version abolishment which was costing 299, isn't really a price cut, you could all along buy a wii u at 299, common sense)...
Also, we don't know if the successor will have a backward compatability... Gamecube not having backwards compatability for N64 meant bigger legs for N64..
Lastly, your comment (obviously by saying: No one e.t.c) expresses anger-which translates into a jab towards wii u- in case of NX being released in 2017 instead of 2016 as you avidly want... I don't get it!
I'm a 2017 believer ( Mainly if it's about to replace wii u, because for 3ds I wouldn't be surprised if it gets replaced in 2016, or if it's for both I can see handheld device in 2016 and home device in 2017)! Why do you care so much if you will be refuted about NX release ( generally, people from both sides), regarding wii u replacement? Personally If I'll be wrong, I won't care at all... You hurting your own mentality for an insignificant thing, a release date, people from both sides do that (but as it seems , from the 2016 side is very louder), it's unfathomable...

I think you get the point, I didn't mean *literally* no one, but from a market POV, Wii U is likely done once people see the NX. It's already selling poorly and having its successor unveiled is pretty much the nail in the coffin. People still buy the PS3 or heck I'm sure somewhere, someone is still buying a GameCube today.

So, I misunderstood you?
Still, you wordiage could be different...
Wii was teased in 2004 and was revealed under it's codename revolution at E3 2005, with a release date on holidays 2006...
That didn't stop gc selling, and it had its price dropped in 2002 by 50$ and again by 50$ in 2003, which made it to sell fast, it sold the 60% of its lt sakes then... Wii u hasn't get any price drop.
Of course, NX revelation if it's about replacing wii u, it's fairly expected that it would hurt its sales, I wouldn't risk to predict at what extend because of the fact that wii u hasn't get any price drop, and If it gets, I don't dare to prejudge either no effect or considerable effect! With wii u you never know! Look what mainly splatoon along with super mario maker did for the wii u in Japan this year, with NX been teased...
Also, you didn't comment on the backwards compatability part? Do you agree, that no wii u backwards compatability on nx would mean biggers legs for the wii u? I gave you the N64-> GC paradigm!
