What would you do if the Wii U is Nintendo's last console. Nothing after that, no handhelds, no home consoles, they had to make games for other consoles. What would you do? I guess I would stop gaming altogether, the Xbox and Playstation doesn't interest me at all.

It won't be their last. People forget just how much money they made on the Wii and DS. They'll be around for a little while longer.

Well I already play other consoles, so I wouldn't' be too bothered. Only disturbed that the console market will have very slow innovation, as Microsoft and Sony usually wait to see what Nintendo do, then copy and improve on the idea. Now all we'd end up with is Sony and Microsoft never changing generation because why bother when you can make money out of the generation you're already in? Why take the financial risk innovating new gameplay ideas when we can just sit on our asses and just pump out the same old carp that people keep buying.

 

Yes I know Nintendo do like to pump out the same old Mario occasionally, but they seem the most innovative when it comes to sequels to their software and hardware  

 

 

However I feel that the Wii U will sell at least 65, 000, 000 - 75, 000, 000 consoles during its lifetime setting up a large consumer base, and further third party trust ready for the next Nintendo console.

 

But i don't think Nintendo's next console will be out any times soon. There's no point unill 4k TVs become popular (there's NO point in another 1080p console, the Wii U is fine at doing that) and all possibilities have been tried and done to death with the gamepad.

I'd say a long while longer they have made triple the profits that Xbox has with just the Wii alone. That basically insures them for 3 more console launches that are fails

I love how the comments pretty much disregard the question and just say that it won't happen. As for me, I would probably move to pc gaming.

Hello! My name is Kao and I am a Kangaroo! If you can see my kicking picture there, you can see me riding one of mine friends! I am quite popular in the area because I saved alot of animals turning in to women accsesories. It was quite painfull on the way, but I liked the experience! I plan on buying a plane with all my money I got and going on an adventure on the isles. My first adventure was when that Mcguffin Hunter cought me, but I escaped, and I don't want to let any animal in pain! What's your story, mate?

I usually own all the different consoles. I would miss them tons, but I would still be gaming as I normally do. I don't see this happening in the near future. If anything I could see them going handheld only. They already made statements on working on the 3DS/Wii U successors.

If Nintendo are making games, and they appear on the Praystation or Xsocks, why would you not be interested in them?

 

I already do my non-console gaming on pc so nothing would change for me, except I'd hope Nintendo would release on steam.

I'd just continue gaming on other platforms. Why isn't there an option for all of the above? It implies that you have to be a fanboy and move exclusively to one.

I think it probably will be their last console, not because I think they'll drop out of the industry, but because I think the idea of traditional "game consoles" is going to be phased out over the course of the 8th gen and going into the 9th gen. Hardware is likely going to become a lot more open, more customisable and such, so it'll be interesting to see how Nintendo adapts to that.

 

But if they did drop out of the industry all together, I don't think much would change for me. I already use the PC as my main platform, PlayStation for most multiplats, and Xbox for the few good MS exclusives.

Since nintendo games would die with the console..... i would be on pc gaming. considering the other two consoles arent even really anything but watered down third party ports and a few mediocre exclusives.

I'll play Animal Crossing 3DS until I die.

End of story..... However, if I lost my animal crossing 3DS and there's no way to get it back or to play 3DS again.. Well... I'll kill myself. JK.

I'll probably play Minecraft on this stupid PC.

I would be devastasted from an emotional point of view.  From a more pragmatic point of view, it's something I could live with as long as Nintendo's IPs stay alive and exclusive to Nintendo as the publisher.

I probably wouldnt bother with anything. I really only play Nintendo consoles because I enjoy their IPs the most and for nostalgia. If they ended up going software-only then their games would probably end up declining in quality. I'd possibly buy one of the other consoles cheap second-hand but I wouldnt pay £300+ for a console I will only use for a few games. Unlike most on here I dont really play games religiously (besides Zelda and a couple of other games).

I was thinking that but then I forgot. :P Besides, next gen consoles will be expensive.

I find it kind of funny how no one voted Micros$oft so far. The point is I cant see this being Nintendo's last system but in a make believe situation I would give up gaming and go to college so I can redeem fantasy gaming.

I certainly hope not Deadly. Of course I can't see how a telephone or something with a phones OS can kill a gaming system.
