Platina on 27 April 2016

Discontinuing it early would be the reason though I'm exactly sure why the would kill it off early for the NX..

Anyone knows about this?
Reuters is reporting that Kimishima stated that Wii U production ends in March 2018.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

That would be the fiscal year ending in March 2018. Hardly a surprise when they project such a low number for the fiscal year ending in March 2017. Production could end sooner if demand flatlines.

The surprise is that they are waiting so long to end the production. They could end now and there would be no difference.

This is a case of saying what is better for the company when there's no certainty.

Yeah, just smile and be polite.

I WIN THE BET!!!!

 

But I wish the Wii U would do better. Doing under 15 million will be a huge disappointment.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Gamecube sold better but it was also really cheap. It hit $99 well before a new console was even being discussed.

Wii U is trying to compete at a price too close to its competitors.

Yet Gamecube had hardware that was on par with the  competition for that price, Wii-U is more on par with last gen and still very expensive. Hardware wise Wii-U is just terrible value.

Nintendo put the costs of better specs into a controller with a screen on it. If it just stuck with Wiimotes it would probably be $199 right now.

Probably is needless! Gamepad  worths 80-100$ ( It's the reason why they will never cut the price in order to not sacrfice or abate dramaticalky the profits, or loss if extra costs are still high, but I doubt that, we're in its forth year).  Wii u manufacturing cost without the gamepad is 100- 120$...
