hahaha, i see, hadnt read the comments, so the guy was acting, not bad at all
no, it will not get discontinued, rest assured.
nintendo will undoubtly support the console until, at least 2015. Then maybe it will be discontinued, or maybe not...

XO is way too expensive, PS4 has a good price, Wii U is too expensive. PS4 and Wii U don't offer the same thing, Wii U is way too last gen to validate a next gen price. The upgrade you get between the two consoles is worth way more than just the extra $100. |
sorry, i missed the prefix "un".
I won't engage a pointless discussion here but to put it short: ps4 price is not good, wii u is $100 less with 2 games and bellow the magic $300 tag = good price.
wii u is last gen in what? not in graphics or games or nothings. upgrade for ps4/xone? all they have is current gen games with more detail, and i'm not talking about the ports. paying 400/500 dollars to play the same thing should not be considered a good upgrade.
By 2016, it's going to age horribly within the next year or so, and the PS4/Xbox One will only widen gap.


It begins.
But I agree, they will be forced to discontinue it if the holiday sales are poor
I reckon the Xbox One has a higher chance of being discontinued than the Wii U.

Cool.
PS4 price is perfect, the sales show it. Wii U is overpriced, the sales show it. You can't compare $400 of PS4 to $300 of Wii U just by numbers ignoring the value of the package. It's like you were saying $200k for a Ferrari is too much while saying that an Alfa Romeo Giulietta for $150k is a good purchase. It doesn't work that way. You don't buy a console for the next 3 months, but for the next 5-6 years and that is why Wii U can't justify this price. It's not future proof and can't be considered the main gaming console for anyone who isn't a massive Nintendo fanboy. Also $300 has never been the "magic" tag. $199 is and has always been the magic pricepoint.
Wii U is too much like last gen. The whole online is taken from the iceage. No accounts, games tied to a console, no trophies, 32 GB of storage. Graphics look like last gen on steroids instead of next gen. Again, look at Infamous: Second Son, The Order 1886, Titanfall, etc. These are next gen games coming. You don't buy a console just for now, it's a purchase for quite a few years.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

oh, yeah, we have numbers for one whole week (launch week) in one territory. wii u is 300 dollars + 2 games with amazing games that you can't get anywhere else. ps4 is 400 dollars with most of it's library being available somewhere else.
someone's personal opinion over exclusives can make the ps4 the better option. but regardless of opinion, it is absolute that wii u is the better option right now and will keep that way for many people.
I won't even comment on your "incredible arguments" to say wii u is last gen because it would get me banned.
