I saw too many doom articles so here is the facts people.

The Wii U sold about 4 million units in 1 year and if it continues at this rate which is unlikely considering some of the games lined up in 5 more years it will sale this much....

  4 units per year. 

X 5 more years

+ 4 from the last year

= 25 million which almost ties with the Gamecube and we know the Gamecube still kept Nintendo afloat although being sold a s a loss.

 

Now thats not considering the fact that the libraries appeal will grow with heavy hitters. The heavy hitters planned are....

-Zelda U

-SSB4

-Bayonetta

-Monolith's X

-Shin Megami X Fire Emblem

-Mario Kart 8

 

And not to mention any new IPs that get announced this year. 

All these games will add to sales.

The main reason 3rd party devs skip Nintendo is that it's currently not profitable. Even Bethesda will confirm this.

How does it get profitable? Games. I think I'm repeating myself

 

Also please look at the 3DS sales. Nintendo is doing just fine. Don't believe maintream media like Kotaku,IGN, and Gamespot. Go to indie sites.

Discuss....

Do we even know what platform that smtfe thing is for?
It'd make sense for it to be for Wii U, but I dunno.

You could swap it out for both dk and yoshi though.

There could be a weegee's mansion for wii u to be announced this year, since they're making that bs two years long it seems.

It has been confirmed to be a Wii U game, but that was also well over a year ago at this point, so for all we know it could be a Game Boy Advance game at this point in development.

Someone confirmed something about it?
I thought the running theory was it was for 3DS.

It was announced as a WiiU game.

I agree with you that the wiiu is far from dead and it will pick up but let's stop with the 3ds comparisons. The 3ds had no real competition (sorry vita I love you but you got owned even before you came out) while the wiiu has two systems ahead of it and the new steam systems that will make some sort of noise.

Still at the end of the day like I've always felt the wiiu will be worth it but as a secondary system like the wii and gamecube were.

I don't get all this doom and gloom thing for Nintendo people are really stressing that Nintendo is going to die but thats just stupid I mean Sony has a 78% chance of going bankrupt and everyone is still preaching doom and gloom about Nintendo also Sonys PS3 had a worse start than the WiiU did Sony took huge losses from that console and they are still here although they are very hurt from it but still here Nintendo is doing fine compared to Sony

I'm considering making small bets with people every time I hear someone saying it's going to fail/kill Nintendo/they should move. Not only would it be extremely satisfying to laugh in their face, but to take their money while doing it? It would become my defining point for happiness.
