I'm pretty sure I've heard of this rumor before, but I won't believe this, or any other NX rumors until we get actual news from Nintendo


Nobody believes this rumor like it is scripture, but come on you have to at least admit it makes sense and lines up with AMD saying they would be launching another console in 2016.


Guess will just have to wait and see :p

If the rumour is true it also stated NIntendo are winding down wii u console sales with 2015 being its last Christmas and they are expecting about 2 million sales taking it to about 12 million in total.

This will mean serious discounting as they clear out stock at the end. Expect to see good offers in the January sales.

That rumour is for producing of new Wii U consoles only in 2015, we dont know how many Wii U console Nintendo already have in stock, so this rumour means nothing.

I think that is sales rather than production. I don't think they manufactured any wii u consoles for a long time. The white wii u stopped production ages ago but we still see them in retail in the UK and other wii u bundles appeared to be re-packaged product rather than new product as the wii u manufacturing date was older. 12 million approx may actually be the combined number of wii u's sold, stock at retail and stock that Nintendo still has in warehouses.

Digitimes have sources with manufacturers so based on that they talking about numbers of device that will be produced in future, also in article they talked about production numbers for NX so we can assume they also talked about production of Wii U too.

 

Abou that that they dont manufactured any wii u consoles for a long time:

WiiU target of 3.6m units will need more manufactured than in current inventory, no loss from hardware any more, more games at E3

Apologies if my writing isn't perfect I write very fast and don't proof read the messages sometimes.

That comment does imply that they are still selling existing inventory and that 3.6m is too high for existing inventory which sort of indicates some part of the 3.6m figure is in excess of warehouse stock. Also though has Nintendo continuously under-performed compared to its expectations. We have only just reached 10 million shipped and as you can see from my signature I was expecting that milestone to be reached a long time ago.

I wonder if realistically the wii u will ever reach production again. I've a feeling Nintendo are more interested in moving on to their next console.  Foxconn do their best pricing on large orders so any small batches of wii u stock won't be a cost effective.  At one point Nintendo were predicting I think 9 million consoles being sold from march 2013 to 2014 but only 3 million were sold. I wonder if the 9 million was actually manufactured because added to the launch numbers that would be about the right number to get to 12/13 million sold which seems to be about what the wii u is expected to sell before the NX arrives in 2016. My gut instinct tells me wii u production is already stopped and its just a matter of clearing the inventory over the next 12 months. Sega had the same situation with the dreamcast where they'd manufactured what their sales predictions calculated but were stuck with a lot of warehouse stock when those predictions were much too high.

I can't see Nintendo releasing the NX next year. Too early imo. Wii u is not even 4 years old yet. Im sticking with a 2017 realease.


um who says this is a home console?

explain to me how it seems smart?

At this point the 3DS isn't "Old" now, but it will be 5.5 years old by August 2016.  In addition, the Wii U is a complete comercial failure and needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

Wrong on both. Wii U is profitable and even if it wasn't, replacing it soon would be the worst possible decision. Not only keeping support gets as much money as possible, it also doesn't piss the people that bought it.



Nintendo really ought to provide wii u versions of 2 or 3 NX titles to show support for loyal customers. At this point though I have no idea about the power difference between wii u and NX and how realistic that is. Twilight Princess on gamecube and wii was pretty much the same title as the underlying hardware was near identical even if the wii had a 50% speed boost and 48MB of extra memory.

The NX may just be too powerful (here's hoping) for wii u games versions to be developed.

Too bad so sad.  The Wii U is not profitable and the longer they wait the deeper they dig the hole.  Either way it doesn't matter because this is clearly what they are doing in reality.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
