Well he is the same guy who thought the Wii U was a stupid idea in the first place and that it would fail. He later went on to say he was misunderstood and didn't mean it like that. He basically back tracked it and said in the nicest way possible. The Wii U sucked. Which it didn't, but he kind of had the "I told you so" attitude. Maybe I am exaggerating it a bit... but even still. I don't think we are both wrong. I'm pretty sure he started trashing the Wii U concept within a day he got into office. If he had more plans for it, we would know about more games by now. Shit, I hope they have a game or two in the pipeline. I thought we'd get new ones until he started going off at the investors meeting about how E3 will be dedicated at E3 and that the NX is forward thinking and the holiday is somewhat of a write off to prepare for the NX and how it's going to have this "fantastic software line up". He might as well have said "Oh yeah, we cannibalized  all the future Wii U games and moved them over the NX, because the NX is going to be a hundred times better"

He basically doesn't give a flying fuck about the Wii U, nor does he care on the opinions that Nintendo fans hold regarding the Wii U. His mind is set, and he's not looking back. I suspect Nintendo may lose some of their fans over this, but I also think it could be for the best as far as Nintendo themselves as a company is concerned. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even care because he'll be brining in new fans and people will likely be wowed by the NX. So I can understand why some fans actually feel betrayed by him. Iwata wouldn't do this as he cared deeply for the system, Nintendo fans, and Iwata also reduced the scope of Nintendo to be more innovative and creative.

Kimishima clearly wants Nintendo to be the behemoth they once were. He has the money and resources to do this as well. It appears he's restructuring the company as a whole. We also need to remember that even though Microsoft has more money as a whole, and Sony maybe and they were on the verge of bankruptcy a few years back. Nintendo technically has the most money in terms of "video game" revenue and budget. After all that is really their only area of business. For now.

This is of course how I view the situation and it's my personal interpretation. It may not be true, but it sure as hell seems like it to me. To the point I actually believe this shit.

I think you are correct-   I recently opened a steam account for my Son and i to start  buying/playing the occasional pc game-   it is taking me some time to get used to the non "console contoller" controls but i gues it willl come in time-

The Wii Shop is still online. We aren't talking about shops here though.
