Back on November 18th of 2012 the 8th generation of home consoles began (I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU SAY) when Nintendo launched the Wii U. It launched with titles such as New Super Mario Bros U, Nintendoland, ZombiU, Assassins Creed 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 just to name a few. It started off selling quite alright but as we celebrated  for the arrival of 2013 things began to look worse for the WiiU. A lack of compelling software for long periods of time lead to a drop in sales and intrest for the WiiU. Whilst some 1st party titles such as Wind Waker HD or Pikmin 3 saw some small sales spikes for Wii U hardware the system could never hold on to good sales. As we head into the holidays we can see that the sales are on the rise again, but that could just be the holiday push or a small burst from the new Mario. Both the Xbox One and PS4 are now out and they are quickly gaining on Wii U's sales and so I ask the question, should Nintendo have launched Wii U this holiday instead? Would the Wii U have been better of launching along side its rival consoles? After all Wii U would have been in the converstion this holidays for the next gen consoles, it wouldnt have this reputation for not having games (and 2014 looks like a good year that would stop it from gaining that moniker) and it would have a phenomenal launch line up, the best of the 3 consoles. Possible launch games include New Super Mario Bros U, Nintendoland, Super Mario 3D World, Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost World, Lego City, Pikmin 3 and much more.

One thing I would like to note is that this is focusing on the Wii U and not the situation Nintendo were in with the Wii. I would like it if you too would focus on the Wii U

Too bad there is no flu shot for Wii U doom threads.

Just beyond tedious seeing these threads now. Everything you mention has been brought up and discussed in at least 25 threads in the last week.

Can we get a limit on the amount of these threads per week or month?

Or like a general post why wiiu is dead or doom thread?

Exactly! There should be one general "wii u is doomed thread" and that would be fine. There are proabably at this stage 15-20 nintendo/wii u doom threads each day.

funny enough here is me making a joke about this same problem =D

Doom Thread, Doom threads everywhere.

Also this isnt my opinion on the situation. I saw some posts about it and was wondering what the general consensus was here

More like holiday 2010, 2011 tops if you ask me. If it would launch this year, it wouldn't even get the sales it had in its first holiday, it would get massacred so much that it's not even funny to imagine :-/ on the other hands it may have sold to those that wanted to buy a console for holiday gift and PS4/Xbone would be sold out like they are now, but X360/PS3 are a better deal anyway.

I agree with this, as I think that the WiiU is way too late for what it is delivering.  If it had come out 18-24 months sooner, it could have been part of the initial tablet craze. Also, the power of the console would not have been debated.
