Well I wouldn't say they have been pulled but rather I agree that those greenlighted games won't end up on the Wii U. Perhaps launch games for the next system.

buying back your shares is common practise. When they low you buy back when they high you sell to make money lol. Microsoft does it all the time. Why you think every other release of windows is shit? Sabbotage to lower the share price then release a good one and value goes up and sell. Well that is my conspiracy theory for the day.

Maybe fanboys can finally acknowledge it. 

I wouldn't change the main console and clearly Nintendo probably aren't keen on investing money on a re-design but I would change the gamepad.

1. I would turn it into a very attractive and decent joypad not unlike ps4/xbone but with a small touch screen display. I would put analogue triggers in even if this puts original gamepads at a disadvantage but perhaps remove the near field chip reader. They will just have to use a different control layout for certain games on older gamepads with analogue triggers.

Considering the wii u is weaker than 360 and PS3 in many ways I don't see how it can have a future at a price other than budget.

Whatever happens this is a self-inflicted wound. Nintendo made some utterly stupid decisions and they deserved this failure. The specification to price ratio of wii u at launch was an utter joke. It's fair to say the ps3 and 360 have a far larger selection of technically impressive titles than wii u. For those who argue that the wii u's technically better games will come later I would just make the point that a console released in late 2012 with a fairly high price tag should easily outperform dated consoles from 2005/6 day one. The fact the wii u can't do that shows the utter contempt Nintendo has for its end users.

That said I'm enjoying my wii u but I just feel technically its an utter embarrassment to Nintendo.

Acknowledging there's a serious problem is the first step in rectifying it.

At least there's accountability, but that doesn't change the fact that the company is not in the best position due to sweeping the lack of success of the Wii U under the rug for the past year.

Sure, Nintendo fans will point out the 180 they pulled with the 3DS, but that happened only AFTER they cut $80 off the price, which was a direct move to offset the effect of the PSV entering the market at the same price. I don't think anyone's kidding themselves into thinking the Wii U can see the same turnaround in light of the success of the PS4 and XB1 launches. Not if they're being realistic.

(NTDOY share holder. Comments regarding the financial performance of Nintendo are based upon results; I have zero emotional attachment to the company and its products in this regard so I will never make excuses for the company as long as they cost me money.)

I'm amazed he took so much time to realize this...

If they ditch the WiiU it might be the best to keep the device. Think how cult now is the Dreamcast. I would kill to get one (well, not that drastic, but nearly). If they ditch the WiiU I might consider buying a second one, just to have a replacement in the case it breaks down.

I can see them doing the same as Sony does with Vita: no pricedrop to avoid bleeding more money, cheaper model, don't invest big in games, but do enough to keep the console supported, with smaller titles.

Dreamcasts are really cheap, they only cost like 40 bucks.
