WiiU didn't suck until developers stop producing games. The big problem is that Nintendo need to get there head out of there ass and start making games that people would like to play like GTA etc and stop censoring games then people will buy wii u games. Nintendo NX is going to be same shit cause every game they make is same stupid and boring. Playstation and Xbox has more games then Nintendo Wii/Wii U. Ports are not hard to do like Call of Duty Mods work On Wii/Wii U just got to modified the buttons. Xbox and Wii/Wii U controlls r same but backwards. Can't understand it i tried.
Well, Nintendo likes to avoid the "dudebro" games (GTA, Call of
fucking Duty, etc.), which I applaud them for. I
really, sincerely hate "mainstream" games, because they're all rehashes of their predecessors. I know Nintendo doesn't always provide the most original content (
*cough* 2D Mario games
*cough*), but I truly believe that they provide better content above the rest (at least when you play Mario or Zelda - their biggest cash-cows - there's some innovation, some change - the same can't be said for a multitude of games on the X-Box and PS4). And don't call me a fanboy, because you're dealing with someone who owns all three main current-generation consoles, plus PC games occasionally (my PC isn't the greatest for games, but it gets the job done).
(Moving away from that ramble.)
As for the cease of production, it comes as no shock. Every console must have a cease in production; the company can't make it forever, especially when the console didn't do so well and they're working on a new one, all while trying to maintain continuous support support for a tremendously well-selling system (the 3ds). I'm legitimately surprised that support and production has lasted thus far, much less for
two more years.
EDIT: And you
clearly don't understand how long it takes to port games. Think of it this way; the Wii U is Power PC based, and the PS4/X-Box are based on complete other things (AMD x86). So, you must rewrite
tons of code just to manage running it on the Wii U. But that's not all! You also have to take into account graphics modifications, hardware limitations, and so. Much. More. Please, don't think it's just about remapping a button here and a button there (although they must do that too, which adds to the process even further). It's not that simple!
