Nintendo is silent for a reason

well here's how I see it..they though that

1. NSMB would be a big hardware mover (could be...who knows it might have been way worse without it)

2. Casual will fall in love with the pad (I think this is a BIG mistake. A pad that can interact with the tv is not a new idea nowadays. So despite things like off tv play it's something that won't grab the attention of the casuals like the wii did. The unimaginative marketing doesn't help either wub wub wub wiiu a new a console wub wub wub do this wub do that wub and more wub. I heard they parted ways with the guys who did the wii would like to play advertisements. BIG mistake. Those commercials were simple, catchy and very effective)

3. Being a next gen console in the market way before the rivals would entice core gamers. I guess they didn't think the backlash regarding specs would be this severe.

(Point 3) Isn't it odd though the way the market is behaving. When the 64 had the better specs than the PS1, nobody seemed to care, they just cared that they had the games they wanted. I'm not sure why it's so different today.

I agree with the first two points.

sure..but as you said..the 'ps1' era yeah maybe. But that's not the same anymore. The gaming world has changed. Now if your example was more recent, let's say previous gen I would have agreed. So the market is not behaving odd at all. The known specs are underwhelming to many, online account being bound to the system is unappealing to many etc etc. 

People do want to see a good generational jump from the next gen systems. I'm not knowledgeable about it but didn't the PS1 show a clear jump over the previous generation of consoles?
