I like these rare instances of sanity, they give me hope.

Mind explaining this statement? I'm just curious as to what you find sane in this and what Nintendo has done that is not sane. Just curious

Saying that cloud gaming is not the future is sane, because cloud gaming is not the future.

Insane decisions by Nintendo include things like 3DS pricing and leaving the launch window to third parties and, of course, most things concerning the Wii U: Controller, branding, pricing, lack of game announcements pre-launch, focusing on wrong features (i.e. Miiverse over Virtual Console). We've witnessed how damaging a lossleading business model is with the PS3, but that didn't stop Nintendo from adopting it for the Wii U. Abandoning a successful strategy in favor of a proven unsuccessful strategy is insane.

Why don't you see cloud gaming as the future then? I could think of a couple of reasons, I'm just curious what you think.

I think you have some points redarding stupid moves made by Nintendo, but then there are a few I really can't agree with...
