Been telling people this console is doomed to fail

So, from the perspective of the quality of existence, is what you gain by being right greater than you being wrong?  Are you planning on having a party 5 years down the road if what you are predicting is correct?


Yes, because the direction the industry and Nintendo with it is moving in is a direction where gaming will stagnate, and wither, the alternative direction thatwas what the Wii and DS represented was a direction in which gaming became a true mainstream media.

Its good to see Nintendo fail with the 3DS, and Wii U, as it will likely mean that there is a sea change in the company and the industry sooner, perhaps tossing out the old fools who currently run the place and replacing them with people who actually listen to the market.

This one i've seen from you before too, and you're really not going to get anyone better. Anyone younger is going to be from "the industry," and naturally be a worse fit because they'll either be young developers with all the bad ideas that come with young developers, or they'll be businessmen who will employ shortsighted moneymaking strategies and dilute the Nintendo we know and love into just another industry player.


Actually buisiness people would probably be the best choice, since they are the ones who actually are less concerned about doing what they want, and actually doing what consumers want, because it will net them the most profit and marketshare, Miyamoto and the restaren't interested in making 2D mario or a Zelda that isnt puzzle filled (heck even the ninty rep said its all about puzzles in SS, *barf*), or sidescrolling Metroid with no weepy Samus, but probably the business people at Nintendo see that the current games aren't doing massive sales and aren't capturing large marketshare, these are the people who are more likely to want to see the games that the market wants, that will sell more.  The problem isn't the business side, its the developers who think they are so imaginative and  creative.
