>Update 11:20 p.m.: IT Media has a more definitive comment from Nintendo. “This is not an announcement from our company,” Nintendo told the website. “Production is scheduled to continue on and after the next quarter.”
>Update 10:30 p.m.: In response to the report, Nintendo has told Wired’s Daniel Feit, “That report didn’t come from us.”

Take note they never denied they're ceasing production.
>>331719491
you guys are really blowing this way out of proportion. they probably have another ten million units, refurb'd or otherwise, sitting in their warehouses already. They're being realistic.

Did you miss the part where it said production is schedule to continue?

>“Production is scheduled to continue on and after the next quarter.”
This doesn't contradict what was reported, which was the end of 2016. Read between the lines.

It does, retard. Nikkei stated that the discontinuation was actually well under way, hence the stock shortages in Japan.
Nintendo refuted that.
>>331719491

>Iwata dies
>Wii U dies
can this year get any better
>idiots ITT don't read the first reply
>>331719491
If their games and hardware weren't so fucking expensive years after release maybe more people would have bought that stupid excuse of a console. This is coming from someone who grew up on Nintendo games. They simply refuse to compete with better video game ecosystems (Steam) and are losing out because of their stubbornness.

So basically nothing of interest at all has turned up as a news article.
Please understand.
>Nikkei is Japan's business-oriented Shitaku when it comes to video gaming
