I love Wii U & i will buy it next home console, no discussions!

maybe they are, but maybe they dont want to, considering the fusion thing im thinking maybe they really cant or dont want to fund another console

How can people decide to buy something they don't know anything about it. I can't make that decision now. For all we know, it could be worse than Wii U.

Most likely. Nintendo consoles have some nice exclusives.

Definitely. I don't think Wii U was a disaster at all, at least for me as a gamer. Maybe for Nintendo's financials, but for the average Nintendo fan this gen is already pretty good.

Sad to hear you're done after this gen. I bet you'll come back once the kids are grown up and out of the house.

Part of the issue no one is talking about is how much the market has changed in the last generation. Games now take years to develop, and this has forced gamers to become patient. With patience comes time to think and better decisions as a whole. Gamers are not only willing to not buy that shiny new console out the gate, but they're willing to wait a year just to see if it is a good idea. I know I am.

Now compare that to the last few generations and you'll see the difference. Last generation had three consoles which ran on hype and therefore sold respectably. This generation the Wii U and XBox One faceplanted out the gate while the PS4 exploded.

The difference between the three consoles is not actually that big. 90%+ of the titles for the PS4 will wind up available for the X1, and Nintendo has its own exclusives. The difference is that more gamers this go-round were paying attention to the differences and thought more about what they were doing. As a natural result, more of them agreed on what the correct answer was.

I'm still not sure what I will do for next gen; I will likely make that decision up when we get there. But I'm not calling the Wii U done, yet. When Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Smash, and Zelda U are all out and the Wii U is still selling 50K a week? That's when to call it toast.

The X1, however...it's not toast (yet) but it is much closer than the Wii U because it is in such direct competition with the PS4. The Wii U can do its own thing, but the X1 consistently losing NA to the PS4 is shaping into a death sentence for the X1.

Absolutely. As long as the exclusives keep happening and remain excellent, I'll buy it.

I wouldn't call Wii U a disaster, though financially I think Nintendo might xD

I personally like the Wii U more than the GameCube, the first party output just seems of a higher quality than during the GameCube era so far. I may not buy it at launch, but I'm definitely on board for a new Nintendo console in another 3-4 years.

Expand your imagination.

Anything is possible.

Ryan Spurgeon, you drink too much Kool-aid.

The WiiU is definitely not a disaster...by any stretch of the imagination. There are certainly things that could have been handled differently, but the console is a top-notch next-gen console that honestly brings more to the table than many consoles, be they past or present.

Nintendo gamers love this system...for the most part.

Not everyone in this world is a Nintendo gamer...in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if half the people that bought a Wii even knew it was from a company called Nintendo...or that that was somehow different than a Playstation or XBox.

The only disaster that can occur for Nintendo is if they don't release games for the system...or if they give up the ghost and go 3rd party.

I think the OP really just likes clicks and creates inflammatory headlines to get people to his threads. Unfortunately, there is no money in these clicks.
