Did Nintendo Miss Their Opportunity By Undercooking the Wii U's Specs?

You know, honestly, people talk about Microsoft and Sony being "big business" but I think Nintendo might be the most cutthroat of the pack. They want to make a profit right from the start, no matter what. If that means the Wii U bottoms out in three years then they'll just stop making games for it and focus on another console. The abandonment and death of the Wii showed that they'll cut bait and move on without a moment's hesitation. Contrast that with Sony, which is releasing some huge titles in what is probably the PS3's last year and Microsoft, which just released Halo 4 and a Forza game. Nintendo, I think, knows that as long as they have Mario and the other franchises, their die-hard fans will forgive them for anything.

Good points.

I'll forgive Nintendo, so long as I can get Mario, Zelda, and Metroid in succcessive years (with some other unexpected 1st and 3rd part jems throwing in for good measure)
