Nintendo of America: "Grab a Wii U while you can"

Man, Wii U is definitely Sega's Dreamcast. An amazing console, with amazing content that released at an awkward period and failed in terms of hardware sales. To me, this is good news. They are going out with the old and are confident in NX. This is a Nintendo I haven't seen since 2006.

Nintendo knows at this point Wii U is on its way out and I'm glad they're open and honest about it. By the way he's talking about Wii U, NX will most likely not be backwards compatible at all with Wii U software which I think is a step in the right direction. Get Wii out of everyone's mind and prepare them for something totally new and different. Can't wait for the NX unveiling. Hopefully we'll also get more Zelda footage.

The difference is I don't think we'll ever see a Wii U go for $50 consistently on eBay. The dreamcast has always been relatively cheap secondhand, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe that it'll ever really drop in price past maybe $150-200. Especially as gamepads begin to fail in like ten years. The Wii U is going to be a collector's dream.
