Companies aren't motivated by "3rd place existence," you don't just "exist" in the marketplace. The reason nintendo has been such a joke for so many years is because they "exist." Nobody cares about a company that "exists" and does nothing else.

#schooled

That #schooled couldn't be more misplaced as Nintendo made more of a profit the last 10 years than the gaming divisions of Sony, Microsoft and SEGA combined and possibly ever will. Nintendo may be a joke to you and other self-proclaimed hardcore gamers but Nintendo has basically been the most stable and healthy company the whole time and they are laughing as they sit on huge piles of cash at this very moment.

Is the Wii U in trouble? Definitely. The Wii U was a mistake. But Nintendo can take it. Nintendo could make 3 mistakes and survive on business sense and wits alone.

And if this is going to be a reflection of the videogame industry, than it is sick to the core, and has major issues.  If the buzz is not with Nintendo, and the others have greater marketshare, while bleeding ink dry, the industry is built on a faulty foundation.
