Wii U - Less than 12 year old console and online is already dead, meanwhile 18 year old PS3 still kickin'

Nintendo consoles are the shittiest purchases

PS3 & PSVita servers were supposed to shutdown, but Sony extended them after enough people complained. Can't be ignored that it's gotten progressively more inconvenient to use them though, such as no longer even being able to make an account directly from the PS3. They'll mostly likely just shut them down more discreetly, when they finally pull the plug

Though really, I don't know where or how people got this absurd mentality that game servers were just going to run forever, especially ones tied to game consoles. The PS2 severs closed, the Xbox servers are gone, the Dreamcast servers ended, & most MMO that don't have private servers are gone. I think Nintendo should strive for a "two generation policy", or 15 years in more definite terms, I just can't understand how so many people are so shocked when a server shuts down, especially for a relative failure like the Wii U.
