You think a Nintendo Direct will turn things around for Wii U? You do know those millions of people that made the Wii successful aren't going to watch that right? Only the core Nintendo fans. Core gamers aren't the problem, they already have a Wii U. Also the fact that Nintendo has to apologize for game droughts and slow loading times on Wii U is ridiculous. They are in a horrible position and its looking unlikely with each passing day that this year head start will give them any sort of advantage.

Sony and Microsoft need to take notes. Look at how Nintendo launched the Wii U. Do the opposite.

It's still a headstart. Microsoft messed up theirs with the 360 (high price, software droughts, no real must-have titles, unreliable hardware), yet a measly 5.5m units were still good enough to stay ahead of the PS3 for a very long time. A lot of Nintendo's current problems can be fixed before the Nextbox and PS4 launch. Not all of them, but enough to leave the current horrible position behind them.

About two years ago people were quite sure that Sony wouldn't repeat Nintendo's 3DS mistakes with the Vita. I wouldn't count on smooth launches for the Nextbox and PS4.

A headstart is pointless if you're just going to let the other guys catch up to you. Microsofts mistake didn't matter since Sony repeated their mistake as well with a poor launch line-up and higher price.

indeed, Dreamcast got a headstart and was overthrown by the PS2 even tho it had a larger library of games
