What he`s saying is you have to at least give the market a chance and not rush into a new product which could make the new opne an even bigger failure.

Nintendo did give the market a chance.... it's been out for a year and a half now. How much longer does it need? The market rejected it and Nintendo is aware of that. Hence, their god awful low sales projection. Not only that but retailers won't let themselves be used as a warehouse stocking the console for months before it moves. Retailers keep track how long they hold on to things before they sell and if a product isnt moving and similar products are then retail wont be too worried about cutting out space (and pushing it to the least visited area) of the store. It's already happening with the Wii U.

That's the same mistake Sega made with the Dreamcast.
Even if you build a loser you need to support it for a while to prove to people you WILL support it.
Otherwise potential early adopters have no faith in getting value for their console.
They'd do better to juts parachute into some respectable bottom line numbers while working extra hard to straight shoot on their next project.
Like they did with the Gamecube failure actually.
