Nintendo is reportedly going to cease production of the Wii U this year, according to statements issued by Nikkei.
According to the article, Nintendo has already started to cease production on some Wii U peripherals and will soon follow suit with the Wii U itself. They hope to deplete their current stock in the months ahead. The article also notes that Nintendo will reveal their new console later this year, currently codenamed NX.
It needs to be noted that while the article says that Nintendo will reveal the NX this year, that does not necessarily mean that they will be selling it this year.
