As someone who has bought every major Nintendo home console up to GameCube and every Nintendo handheld up to DS, I can say that Nintendo has lost most of my business since this last generation, and literally thousands of dollars have been diverted to Sony and Microsoft. While I'm considering picking up a 3DS for Shin Megami Tensei and Gyakuten Saiban, I doubt I will buy a Nintendo home console until they end their recent policies of peddling ancient hardware at unreasonable prices (for outdated technology) with attached gimmicks.
Also, I'll say the Nintendo fans on this forum are a generally reasonable bunch of folks. However, the New Age "hardcore" Nintendo fans in Japan are literally a cult and I want absolutely nothing to do with them. At least a good number of them have disappeared from forums and gone to the Miiverse...
