I don't really care. Their systems have been significantly more interesting than the other two (imo) and have provided new and interesting opportunities for gameplay which I appreciate much more....

nah it's just gimmicks for babiesssss not third party support buahahaha doomed.

If they want more advanced games on more powerful hardware they'll not limited themselves to just a Nintendo console. They'll buy a ps4 or X1 aswell

That post was clearly crossing the line, but you should avoid these non-value added posts anyway. Just focus on debating the point, rather than dismissing the one presenting it.

That being said..I'm keeping an eye on this thread. The OP has a point...somewhere...even I don' t believe it's framed very well.

When will consoles reach a power block and same goes for PC? I mean when will power become a saturation point and more power will just be like wasting resources? Or will every other game become open world to the extent that time in games and distance in games will be real time? Sure for vr we need a lot more power but for 4k? I mean resolution to me is already reaching a saturation? Will we then get 60 fps gaming and then 120fps gaming and then 240fps gaming? Will there come a time when avid gamers will live inside games through vr? Will the power in future be required for holographic gaming? What will the industry do when there is no reason to shift from gtx 1480 and 1580 or from ps6 to ps7? Will consoles and PC then become a lot cheaper and smartphone will be as powerful as the most modern PCs?
As for Nintendo I believe they should aim for just enough power yo make great games and make a lot of them and people will respond. Stick to a more traditional console because people are not willing to change the way they play and when the time comes and the market becomes stale because of too much power then bring the innovations that will move the video game industry to a new never before thought of era because they were the ones who created the modern video game industry in the first place.

Ok first of all Its Macho Man Randy Savage that uses the "Ohhh Yeeaaahh" catch phrase. Followed by saying 'Dig it!'

Second of all, its not a middle finger to fans. Incredibly powerful hardware isn't a necessity to play games.

And third of all.... sorry I'm still upset you're trying to rip off Macho Man Randy Savage.

Sure profits were less but financially the Wii u is not a complete failure but a mild success as they have been making profits off of it and the only time I think they lost a little money was in 2012 and 2013 I think so you are wrong on that account

I'm not sure about that. As Debbie Allen said, "but out of limitations comes creativity." In some ways technological restrictions force developers to be more thoughtful and resourceful.

Nintendo doesnt rely on powerful hardware to make great looking and fun games like there competitors. Plus they prefer to sell there consoles at a profit.

Because of hassle of having to intergrate the gamepad and i'm not too sure how different the architecture is of the WiiU but that could also be a reason. 

I strongly feel that if Nintendo went with the same architecture as PS4 and Xbox one, and pumped up the power a little bit and didn't provide a gimmick it would also pull more third party support. People might cite the gamecube but that was because of the disc's they were using that didn't provide enough storage and also had a really small install base.
