The only person you are convincing is yourself-   I would say you are the definition of "sophmoric" but I don t think you beleive in your own bs

It is clear what Nintendo communicated to anyone over 10 (and most under 10)  except yourself- 

I'll try it one last time to explain why you and others are wrong. First, here is Nintendo's official statement:

"Though I cannot confirm when it will be launched or any other details of the system, since I have confirmed that it will be 'a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept,' it should mean that we do not intend it to become a simple 'replacement' for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U," Iwata explained.

Now comes an analogy. Suppose Nintendo said this about the new Zelda (obviously not an actual quote):

"Since the next Zelda will use a much more non-linear structure, it won't be an easy game."

That doesn't mean that Zelda won't be a game, despite the words "won't be a game" being somewhere in the statement. Likewise, Iwata's quote isn't a denial of a replacement, it's a denial of a specific kind of replacement, just like the Zelda quote I made up.

Once again you try to brand me as a fanboy or simpleton, but you have to consider that my interpretation of Iwata's statement (which I've held since the moment the statement was made) leads to the inevitable conclusion that the Wii U will be dead as soon as NX launches. That contradicts the wishes of a fanboy. My interpretation of the quote is also in line with what was going to happen all along, so my ability to comprehend words is perfectly fine.

You and others who are arguing against this have a history of looking for reasons to bash Nintendo. Maybe you specifically are just angry at yourself for being unable to comprehend Iwata's quote and seriously expecting further Wii U support, and now are unable to admit it, so you try to put the blame on Nintendo despite a complete lack of statements that would support your interpretation that Wii U and NX would exist side by side. Feel free to make a thread to say that you expected Wii U games from Nintendo after NX launch. Be warned though, because people will laugh at you for holding such a belief when there were no reasons and indicators to believe so.

if you are saying Nintendo was doing its usual lying to ts customer base - ill go with that-   but it is clear what they said-   to anyone that does not worship at Alter Nintendo- (and even many that do)
