If Nintendo did that, I'd probably go exclusively Xbox 360, or even PS360. I might eventually get one, but I would probably wait for a price drop, and my hype would be extremely low for it compared to the Wii. Basically I would be pissed because I would feel ripped off by Nintendo, by promising so much potential in the Wii only to cut the life short early and release a new console.

Why should I get a Nintendo console if it just did all the same things the HD consoles did with no way of differentiating itself? The appeal of Wii to me is that it is so different than the other consoles.

Nintendo didn't do shit to you. It was third parties that did it. Blame them.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
