Kotaku are reporting that Nintendo of Japan have confirmed Wii U production is winding up soon.

Translations of an announcement added to Nintendo's Japanese home page confirm that Wii U production (which Eurogamer suggested was ending last week) will end soon. That should leave Wii U lifetime shipments at the 13.5 million mark, once Nintendo have shipped the 240k remaining in this current financial year.

Wii U will therefore definitely go down in history as Nintendo's least successful home console.

Wii hardly knew U.

EDIT: I should clarify this refers to Japan only.
