Yeah i could see that, i can also see there next platform being 100% compatible with Wii U titles anyway, minus those that depend on the Pad Controller.

Yeah I tend to agree.
Mario Kart 8 is really the big difference from last year to this year, that's the one game that will cause an increase in their sales, going from 2.72 to 3.6 mill sounds about right.
Smash and 3D Mario are about the same level of popularity, Galaxy and Smash Brawl had virtually identical sales, and the "supporting" titles like X, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Yarn Yoshi (?) versus DKC: TF, Wii Party U, Zelda: WWHD, Pikmin 3, W101 are probably a wash too (I think last year's fiscal year titles have the slight edge there honestly).
i really hope they don't release a new console soon in the next year or 2 cause in the end that will do more harm then good just look at sega with the saturn

I don't think a true Nintendo console successor is coming anytime soon, though I do suspect a handheld/console hybrid platform is well underway with Wii U level visuals.
That said the constant Sega analogies are really flawed I think. Sega released the Sega CD in 1992, then the 32X in November 1994, and then the Saturn in May 1995 (six months apart!) ... that is why the Sega brand became so tarnished.
Nintendo is hardly in the same boat, they released the DS just 3 1/2 years after releasing the GBA and suffered no negative blow back at all in the long term, in fact the DS went on to become their best selling game platform ever.
No one would've complained about the 32X/Saturn if the 32X had a full 3 years on market to itself for example.

They dont have a choice, they cant survive off 3.6m sales a year.

Posts like this are laughable, at best. It's weird that so many keep trying, knowing the words will probably bite them in the ass later. |
I really, really , really wish i would be wrong :(. I still had hope untill beginning this year.
WiiU will be the only Nextgen console i will own for this generation. I would have bought it for Zelda and X alone.
However I had hoped to play smaller titles also. Titles which would come for a wel selling console where Nintendo could try new things (like W101). But this is not going to be the case.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
