Why WiiU is the only viable strategy for Nintendo

[JWeinCom]

What people seem to forget is that this is a business, and the ultimate objective is to make money profit, not revenue. I'd love a system that was as powerful as a top flight gaming PC with Nintendo software support as well, but that would lead to financial ruin.

I personally think that investing in exclusives (like Bayonetta 2) will have more influence on sales than being to run a pixel perfect conversion of PS4 games. I think this is the strategy Nintendo is taking (already funding Lego City and Fire Emblem x Shin Megami), and if it is, it's a sound one. I do wish they'd have invested in a bit more RAM though.

Anyway, I think Nintendo's biggest problem is simply marketing the gamepad. It does a lot of cool things that I think lots of people will benefit from. Hopefully, Super Mario Galaxy U, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Zelda U, etc will make good use of that stuff.
