So there's like...two retail games left for WiiU, expanded across almost a whole year?

I mean, there probably will be some eShop games here and there in the middle but...oh, man. Nintendo is seriously encouraging people here to go play on a different console.

Yeah, Nintendo has likely lost a lot of gamers over the last year, and from the looks of it, they're going to keep bleeding for the next 9 months. They did this with the Wii as well; by the time Wii U came out, people were sick of waiting with nothing to play, and had migrated to other platforms. Likewise, a lot of Wii U owners are just going to get tired of being held out on, switch to Playstation/Xbox, and not look back.

By contrast, look at how Sony handled the PS3's closing years; it got plenty of support right up to and even after its replacement. As a result, they went into the PS4 with a strong positive momentum.
