Nintendo will end production on its Wii U console sometime in 2016, according to a report from Japan's Nikkei. The console, which has sold poorly compared to its wildly successful predecessor, debuted in 2012.
According to Nikkei's report, Nintendo has already stopped manufacturing certain Wii U accessories. The outlet, which has a good record of reporting on Nintendo's unannounced plans, reports that while Wii U hardware is being discontinued, a launch of the company's next platform — codenamed NX — is not guaranteed this year.
You were honestly a great console, Too bad people are greedy and want more out of you and ignored the greatness of the games delivered on to you.
Your graphics were beautiful to me, (Xbone and ps4) just had the better looks.
People are greedy for wanting more than 20 or so games to play the Wii U literally has no good third party games and less than 10 games that are worth buying the console for.
Nintendo is to blame for the Wii U. It didn't bother advertising or investing in it and wanted it to live off the hype from the Wii.
And when it didn't, they STILL didn't invest in it. They also should have had games ready for players, rather than pushing put a console before everyone else and the good exclusives only arriving later.
Just an awfully managed era. The NX better slay or Nintendo are literally done for in the home console market.

RIP Wii U
