The forums are stagnating - what should be done about it?

If it really is cyclical, then you shouldn't expect a rebound. There won't be a three-way competition in 2014, because by then Nintendo won't play a major role anymore.

I don't know if I will still be around by then, because I don't expect it to be entertaining to watch Nintendo destroy themselves. The climate of these forums is already quite bad now and it's only going to get much worse.

This is reaching the point where I have to choose to pretend that you are kidding around.

One day you will wake up from your state of denial.

In case you haven't figured, I wasn't saying that Nintendo will never play a major role anymore. But when it comes to eighth generation home consoles, that's pretty much a lost cause already. Iwata's Q&A session had a few bright spots of acknowledging some problems correctly, but most of it was still the mindset that led to the 3DS and Wii U in the first place, so I don't expect any major corrections being made.

Do you think the next generation consoles will fail to surpass the current ones in sales altogether, barring major breakthroughs into India and China?

I honestly could see that happening either way, even if Wii U stands victorious
