Speaking with Kotaku, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aims asserted that the Wii U isn’t dead yet.

The Wii U “has a very long life ahead of it,” Fils-Aime said. “It’s got great content coming that will help define the platform.”

Mario Kart 8 helped quadruple Wii U sales in its first week. Super Smash Bros. is also expected to boost consoles sales with its holiday 2014 release date on the console.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
