I think there's one flaw with Nintendo's current strategy: hardcore games. What do I mean by this? Nintendo is marketing Mass Effect, Ninja Gaiden, Batman, Assassin's Creed, and Darksiders as their "hardcore games". So how are they're going to attract the PS3/360 userbase who will have already played 3 out of those 5 games already and will most likely play the other two on their current console? No one is going to spend 300 plus dollars on a new console to play those games. What Nintendo should have done, and didn't (Whether there was no money for it or for other reasons) but what Nintendo needed to do was show of the next gen games that were shown off at E3 running on their hardware. They needed the new Star Wars and Watch Dogs running on Wii U hardware. They didn't. So either Nintendo has this disconnect and think that for every Wii owner no one bought a competing console or they just don't have the money needed to sway the third parties the Microsoft and Sony has/are. On top of that, without releasing pricing/release date, my guess is they're planning a 2013 release which will hurt them even more.
