Comes with 250 GB of RAM, a glossy and classy silver finish, Wii tailored it just for U, all for just $300.00.

This can help lure in a few "core" gamers for sure.

Please tell me this is a joke post?

Prediction: People will continue to make worthless predictions in the future.

If you don't have anything worthy to add then don't post.


I would say the same about you. Nothing you posted isnt anything we haven't read in Nintendo doom threads.

I know that's a joke, but making a new console or heavily redesigning the Wii U too early would be A LOT worse than letting the Wii U live.

It maybe too early, but so many "core" gamers complain about 32 GB as not enough, so 250GB at $300 seems plausible to me. A silver Wii U would be a good addition IMO.

This isn't a doom thread, a doom thread would be me saying that they will drop support this year, and cancel a lot of games in the process. I'm a huge Nintendo fan, been one since the N64 days. I'm just looking at from a more realistic perspective. Plus in my scenario, Nintendo should not bleed money and stay healthy until the next console.

I would say though: 2014 could change this prediction, if Mario Kart and Smash make wonders then the Wii U will have a normal console life.

Oh you said RAM in the first post, so that's why I thought it was a joke

Just increasing the HDD size won't be enough, because in the end the general consumer doesn't seem to be that much into digital games, and the "hardcore" gamers don't care about the Wii U in general.

I think you missed the point. I'm not saying Nintendo should stop making big games, just make 1 or 2 of those games a year. Release 1 at middle of the year and the other during the holidays. The other gaps should be filled with "small" low risks games. 

Nintendo just simple doesn't have the manpower (or at least not yet) to make a ton of big games a year. This, I believe, is one of the reasons why Wii, DS and 3DS have been successful for them.

Low risk would be fine I guess. Almost all of Nintendo's games sell enough to make a profit anyway so that wouldn't change too much. I thought by "small" you meant 2D Platformers and puzzles all year...

you just mean Zelda, Metroid, X, a potential Star Fox and so on. 2 games like that a year is what we'd normally get anyway correct? 

I still don't think a 2016 release for the next console would be wise. If you just mean kill the Wii U and not release a successor, that'd be even worse.



Agree. For Holiday 2016 there will be a new console.
