Yeah, in my opinion the Wii U is a fine system with a host of great games. However, I feel the problem for many is that not all of the Wii U's great titles will appeal to everyone, and once a person has played all the games they were interested in, there won't be anymore to release and fill that gap. Furthermore, even if a game has a lot of content, that won't mean that a player will necessarily go through all that content. Imagine trying to go through all of Hyrule Warrior's content, it'd almost certainly get boring, and i'm saying that as someone who very much enjoyed the game.

Now, compare that to the PS4/XOne. Sure, there may not be replacements to some of the games the Wii U has, in-terms of quantity or quality, but if a person likes the games coming to those systems they can rest assured more will come in the future, and even if they will not buy all these they will know that there will be games available to buy, with some being on-par with Nintendo's titles if you look objectively. This comparison is likely why people are coming to the conclusion that the Wii U being dead is a bad thing, and in my opinion, rightly so.

Thank you for that interesting thought.

To adress the first paragraph, I think this generation is extremely divisive when it comes to the distribution of certain genres. Therefore, you are either interested in a Wii U's games or another consoles' games. So let's say you are into platformers, you buy a Wii U because the other consoles hardly have any. Let's say you love FIFA, you buy an Xbox One. But of course there are those who have a very broad taste and like many different games. I believe that those gamers will usually own a second console just because of this divisive distribution, so they can satisfy all their needs.

Now you've hit the nail on the head with the second paragraph: "... but if a person likes the games coming to those systems they can rest assured more will come in the future, and even if they will not buy all these they will know that there will be games available to buy, ..."

Why is this a comforting thought? Why does this have any relevance to your enjoyment? SInce if the Wii U runs out of games for one's interest, then the other consoles won't be able to fix it, too.
