Okay so theres only one way to save the wii u...minecraft...or sims...they already have assassins creed. How about COD...no wait done. They basically have some of the most famous gaming names so whats wrong with it why isn't it selling its gotta be the customers.

...Which makes every doomsayer's opinion irrelevant. (Not that they were in the first place.)

except that no one is saying nintendo's going to lose all of their money, though it should be noted that they've been having a net loss for two or three years now

but the wii u is almost unsalvageable by this point. smash 4 may revive it, though since it's on the 3DS too that may not be the case. developers have simply given up on developing for the wii u, for the most part

The Wii U is far from unsalvageable. Is it flawed? Currently yes. Is it not selling well? Currently yes. Is it the next Virtual Boy? Hell no.

Most third party devs are simply lazy or give BS excuses when it comes to not developing on the Wii U. Indie developers on the other hand, have been saying nothing but praise for the Wii U.

If sales improve, then MAYBE we'll see more support, but I honestly think they'll just give more excuses for not developing for the Wii U.
 
even if the Wii U fails, Nintendo could easily continue

the other companies have been operating in the red, with yearly losses for decades- Nintendo has been operating purely from its profit, and has yet to find itself in a financially precarious position
 
What's with all this negativity?

Even if Nintendo lost 250 Million dollars every year, they would be able to substain until 2052. They have that much money from their business.

The Wii U is far from a failure. It just simply has not picked up as quickly as Nintendo wanted it to. The media are blowing it up like it's going to be the next virtual boy. It's just like with plane crashes where the media is all over it due to the rarity of it. So yeah, Nintendo rarely has this happen.

The system is awesome though. The gamepad is very innovative, the storage is much bigger than the Wii's storage, there is a social network called Miiverse on there, and HD quality for games. Plus you don't have to pay handsome amounts of money for controllers and stuff since they reuse the Wiimotes.

The 1st party games are far from the problem as well. I mean, Super Mario 3D World getting famed as one of the best Mario games in years, the release of Pikmin 3 that many fans have been hoping for for countless years, and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze being a very high ranked game.

Again, the main issue I see is the support of games on the system. I don't think Nintendo really got enough attention yet as they did with the Wii since many of their games are not the "big" ones. I mean, when the Wii came out, we had a new Zelda pushing the sales on the console, a new Mario 3D Platformer (Galaxy) that was coming out shortly, the hype from Smash Bros. that was going to originally come up in 2007, and plenty of new games like Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, etc.

I have no doubt that Mario Kart 8 will push the sales, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will drastically push the sales, and - depending on if they go with a Zelda that rallied the fans like Twilight Princess - continue to push the sales on the Wii U.

And I'm 99.9% confident that in 2016 they'll still be pushing the system. I don't think another console will come out into maybe 2017 or 2018.
