Nintendo is officially ending Wii U production, and very soon, this year. While this isn't a guarantee NX will launch this year, it means no new Wii U consoles will be produced after the final date. (meaning a new console will likely arrive this year or very early next year because that wouldn't last them all that long) Wii U production already stopped in Japan and has seen HUGE shortages throughout the country.

This isn't surprising but I'm really disappointed. It just seems like a significantly shorter lifespan than the average Nintendo console. I mean, Game Boy Advance was only out for 3 years before the DS came along, but it still continued production and had games released for it for at least a couple years after that. It seems like that won't really be the case with Wii U based on this.
