But you know heres the thing about that market, and its quite evident given the first 4 months of Wii U sales, Nintendo does not exist in the tablet customer's mind. Given Nintendo's past history with hardware codevelopment though, and the bottom line squeeze, they may just have to zip it up and offer Samsung their console/system design asthetics.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
