Prasad, 02 November 2016

According to a report by Eurogamer, Nintendo will be ending production of the Wii U this Friday, bringing its four year long run to an end. The console will still be on sale till stocks last. The information came from Eurogamer sources although Nintendo refused to comment on the matter.

The Wii U will go down as one of the least successful Nintendo consoles. Despite the futuristic controller that let the player play the game on the controller itself with its large touchscreen, the console didn't find enough homes, with 13.36 million units sold by the end of September. In comparison, Nintendo's previous Wii Sold 101 million units and even the Gamecube sold 21 million units.

Nintendo recently announced the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo's latest attempt at revolutionizing gaming by having a portable console that can be plugged into your TV via a dock for big screen living room gaming. The Switch will be launched in March 2017.
