In other words ... the Wii U is basically going to be discontinued this fiscal year as Nintendo themselves only forecasts 800k in Wii U sales from April 2016-March 2017. Nikkei was pretty much correct again. 

It's dead boys, time to accept it. 

If you want one as a collectors item I'd sugget getting in on one soon.

Yep. I still enjoy the system though.

Its over 9000

This pretty much also likely seals it that the Wii U will finish its life cycle with about 13 million sold LTD, way short of even the GameCube.

It may aswell not be getting a single new game for the rest of the year so that seems about right. I wonder if they're even gonna bother marketing and advertising Color Trash.

Well, that's to be expected. How can they sell consoles if they don't launch games for it?

And that low number may also suggest no price drop either...



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Looks like it won't beat the Vita after all.

What's wrong with people?!?! They are missing out on... the usual stuff we expect from Nintendo.

Wii U is hard to recommend and the price is high. I like having a Wii U but its the worst to have if you can only have one console in my opinion.
