"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Wiiu 2014 N3ds 20XX



2020 both.



Since the Wii u isn't selling. I'd imagine the moment their next console is launching they will stoop making Wii u. I expect 3ds to be around for a while like the ds was after the 3ds came out.



Wii U will be discontinued pretty quick I think.

It's not cheap to manufacture and retailers like are itching to use that retail space for better selling product. As such NX will probably replace Wii U very quickly on store shelves.

GameCube really didn't last that long after the Wii was released, was basically gone by the end of 2007.

I remember the irony of seeing $79-$99 GameCubes collecting dust in bargain bins, while the Wii, basically a souped up GameCube being sold for $250 was completely sold out everywhere, lol.

You said it. 18,19 is a possibility as well. I would like to see them support them that long, but I don't see it with the sales.
