Like they did not support Wii after GC and TP going crossgen!?

about 12 mil. A 50% drop from their worst selling console is definitely enough reason to believe it could have caused some people to jump ship.

That post is full of misconceptions. 

Firstly, the Dreamcast was replaced when it was selling for a lot, and remember that the Wii U has been performing worse than the Dreamcast.

Secondly, Nintendo are not making money off of the Wii U. The R&D it would have taken to make it, as well as expected projections have all gone to hell. Nintendo will not have broken even on it, and more to the point, they would have made more money through general investment, which means the Wii U, as a business venture, has been a complete failure. 

Thirdly, Nintendo isn't showing incredbile support for the Wii U, they are just doing damage control, releasing the bare minimum amount of first party games needed to keep the die hard fans in the Nintendo camp. It's merely doing the minimum possible of what the original business plan would have been.

Therefore it makes sense for them to bring out a replacement as soon as possible because they are not making money from it. 

But fact is that drop needed to be going from GC to Wii because of TP is GC game that is crossgen, not from Wii to Wii U because SS is not cross gen game. But you reverse that, lol.

So, that people waited until the Wii U to jum the ship, not on the Wii. Ah see the lack of logic in that.

The Wii U console itself hasn't sold much, but during this time they have had a lot of good ideas in the form of new IPs and accessories - amiibos, Mario Maker, mario 3d world, in the process they have made the transition to HD, have gotten good at developing double screen games, new games that can easily be remastered for the future, and others stuff. So there is a lot of unquantifiable stuff in there or you have add more variables in there. I'm honestly not sure how much money they spent on R&D for it.

I'm pretty sure the Wii U has outsold the DC in total units. Also, the DC was rampant with piracy, not many games got to the 1m mark. That isnt the case with the Wii U.

Nintendo IS making money off the Wii U. Have you looked at the price? Also, games like Mario Maker, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bro's, amiibo's have been making them alot of money.

Nintendo isnt showing support for anything since Iwata passed away and we started having hardly any directs. This does not mean it doesn't exist.

Therefore, if it does come out, its not because of those reason, but likelihood is it won't. Also... because the president himself said it... haha... but i know we are supposed to selectively choose our quotes to make an 2016 homr console NX claim.

No, Wii did not go after the usual Nintendo crowd and succeeded at it. There is no definitive proof one way or the other, only speculation.

Wii U is barely past the DC and really only past it because Sega was forced to stop selling the Dreamcast. 

The only console that's sold worse than the Wii U into year 4 from any of the major console makers (Sega/Nintendo/MS) is the Saturn when the market was like 60% the size it is today. 

This is why Nintendo is not willing to put a real Animal Crossing on Wii U. There are oppurtunity costs, a new "real" Animal Crossing takes Nintendo 3-4 years to make, it will sell 10+ million on the NX (portable alone). Wasting it on the Wii U is something they're not willing to do. 

Yet again like I told Pavolink, it got a different crowd, there is no conclusive evidence whether it did or did not.
