Even before holidays start? Damn what a move from Nintendo.

Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

This seems weird. They still have Zelda coming. I guess it really is too expensive for Nintendo to keep making.

The collectors value will be really high in 5-10 years.

Nah, there are 13 million of those things.  Even Sega Saturn with half as much sales is around $100.

If the NX doesnt have BC and games like Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2 etc are only playable on the WiiU, it will fetch a hefty price.

Well, Europe is easily the worst market for Wii U so this is not that surprising. Weird that this console will end up being discontinued before PS3 and X360, consoles that came out in 2005/2006.

X360 is discontinued http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox-360-discontinued-but-microsoft-will-keep-selling-and-supporting-it/ maybe Ps3 aswell don't know.

Well NX is coming in march and Wii U is dead, so this isnt suprise at all, especially because Nintendo planning to sell just 800k Wiis this FY.

Honestly people make those silly mistakes, it is the same like people who buy every comic/game to sell it at a higher price later most don't make any money of it. Things that make money are mostly very limited runs.

People do, but this is just my opinion on what will happen. Im not going to stock up on WiiUs or anything...

I hope it passes 15 million. Still bad, but liveable.

It might not. Sad as that sounds.

NX better be well manufactured and cost effecient in design, and be cheap if their going for like 1/10th the PS4 pro's power.

This was obvious from their financial forecasts - they expected to sell, and therefore to supply, only 800k Wii Us from March 2016-2017. That's not a level for sustainable mass production.

What will the total shipment numbers be like after adding those 800k?
