Im happy now Wii U is selling at profit, whatever it tops out at, im sure the Wii U will have been a profitable adventure for Nintendo in the long run. How profitable? thats up to Nintendo, get compelling software out and market it well, and they might just sell a few more at profit.

Wii U is FAR away from being doomed. Thats only said by those without any clue and ability to envision things.

I would go even further by saying that the Wii U IS THE ONLY CONSOLE WHICH ENABLES A "NEW SOCIAL".

Just take a look at the MiiVerse. Ever seen such a kind community? Then look into the "Art Academy Sketch Pad" community - its unbelievable what going on their!

The creativity and love being seen there is in ALL OF US! We "just" need the games to unleash it.

I expect to have Smash Bros. Wii U a decent stage editor only possible having a GamePad device.

The GamePad is Nintendos "secret weapon": we have only seen a glimpse of whats possible because there is almost no ammunition for it...

the problem is those threads are based off of trends, history and facts while threads like these are based off of revisionist history and wishes

Doesn't matter because he complained these threads showed up far too much, while the doom threads has the same content and show up at least twice as much. You can't go too far with doom threads, because in the end the conclusion is the same.

Yes, I can kind of concur with that. And I'd also criticize the endless amounts of repetitive doom threads, as it really only needs to be brought up if there's a significant piece of new information showing something we weren't aware of. We all know where WiiU's trending, now it's just time to wait and see. Or at least maybe make suggestions instead of predictions of straight doom or blind hope. It's just not very becoming for the forum.
Maybe I should just find another thread to talk about something other than 'Can Mario Kart save the WiiU".

I think the Wii U is dead. It's architecture is causing the Wii U to die. That fact that multi-platform publishers are not developing for it is enough. Notice how Ubisoft is developing The Division and AC Unity without a Wii U version, it's because there is no PS3/360 version. It will only go downhill from here as games become only PS4/Xbox One. Nintendo should really create a new console and actually think about graphics, etc.
