By nintendo's own admission and marketing, they don't make video game consoles. They make toys. Now before your nerd rage takes over, those statements are facts. Nintendo deliberately marketed the NES as a toy. When the NES was launched, every serious gamer that I knew laughed and mocked the toy with the stupid controller. That philosophy hasn't changed. As a toy maker Nintendo has done well. As video game console and game maker, not so much. The next good system and/or game that they make will be the first.

Obviously, TS' claim for this being the last "console" is welcome news indeed.
