The Undertaker may be a WWE wrestler, but maybe he should dig a grave for Nintendo's disastrous Wii U console.

With just a two and three quarter million consoles sold in the past year, the very future of Nintendo may be at stake if it doesn't somehow boost sales or move on to a new next generation console.

Wii U isn't even breaking even. On the other hand the Nintendo 3DS game system with its dual screen interface and wide array of games is the only cog that seems to be keeping Nintendo breathing. Yet, despite the successful 3DS the Wii U console failure has impacted Nintendo's entire financial outlook. In a recently released earnings report for the prior year Nintendo has suffered a multibillion dollar loss, not to mention diving marketshare as a result of weary investors.

So what's next for the Wii U? Let's start with the obvious: it's certainly on the hot seat and it has no 'it' factor. Telling your friends that you have a Wii U is tantamount to telling them you have leprosy. Yet, the Xbox One with its unique cable box controlling HDMI passthrough and PS4's slick design draw attention. 

Perhaps releasing amazing games is the Wii U's only hope. But, oh wait, influential game publisher 2K Games has flat out refused to release games for the Wii U. Reportedly, the console's marketshare is just too small to divert 'resources' away from other developmental efforts. The lack of Triple A titles will only grown worse once the computational power between the three 'next-gen' systems widens.

Another 'Triple A' game studio has a slightly different tone. Ubisoft has announced that it will be releasing the heavily hyped "Watch Dogs" on Wii U per Design & Trend. The game is also coming to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Creative director Jonathan Morin told Red Bull that the Wii U version of "Watch Dogs" would ship at a different unspecified date. It was also made known that Ubisoft Romania was dealing with the Wii U version.

"We wanted to finish all the platforms that we are currently shipping," Morin said. "We needed those guys to get [the shipping versions] finished, and the good news now is that they're all fully focused on the Wii U version, making sure it gets the attention it deserves to make it the best version it can be."

Still, the Wii U has a long (or short) way to go. A GameFAQs commentor called the system's online ecosystem 'poor.' That sentiment really rings true when the Wii U online experience is compared with PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. In fact, the system is only 50 percent more powerful than the PS3, which was released in '06.

What do you think of the failing Wii U game console? Should Nintendo just put it out to pasture and let it die? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
