PS3 was a monumental disaster in terms of financial losses, imagine the outcry if Sony bailed on that after just 3-4 years. Wii U fans are just wanting a full console 5 year cycle with software support. Sony threw their support behind the PS3 despite heavy losses and it payed dividens, with consumer trust that PS4 would be well supported. Some Nintendo fans may be a bit cagey that if NX stumbles out of the blocks who's to say they wont pull the plug prematurely on that too. I think binning something off that hasn't performed to expectations isnt always the right thing to do and sometimes you have to suck it up and show support to earn the trust of the customers.



Vita says otherwise.

This is a bad counter point. Most PS fans care about the PS4 more than the PS handheld especially since there are most PS1-4 customers than PSP and Vita. I dare to say most Vita customer that are PS fans won't care if Sony sticks to home consoles and only a tiny minority will even attempt to boycott PS5.

Nintendo on the otherhand has a reputation in both home consoles and handheld. But I do think Wii U fans/owners will jump ship to the NX just like Xbox fans did with the 360 when all their favorite series start releasing in a timely manner. And if Nintendo is feeling generous, they can offer an exclusive Zelda NX bundle to Wii U owners similar to MK8 Wii U bundle where they can buy one more NX game for free.
