Is the Wii U Already Dead?

Posted by samzenpus on from the so-long-farewell-auf-weidersehen-goodbye dept.

kube00 writes "The Wii U has been struggling as of late. Even Nintendo has admitted sales haven't been as high as they would like. So what went wrong? Is this just a fluke? Will the Wii U recover and bounce back? Will the PS4 and the next 360 come out the door and leave the Wii U in the dust? GoozerNation takes a look at some of the NPD's and speculates on what it all means."

    The PSP didn't sell well. Sony has had to re-invent it a number of times because it was a flop. "Has a successor?" - no, Sony has tried multiple times to enter the market, and largely failed.

    I don't even know what the latest gen PSP looks like. I haven't seen it in any stores. Oh, I'm sure it's in some of the stores I've been to, but certainly the store selling it knows it's not worth promoting. The 3DS, by comparison, seems to be pretty much everywhere.
