After reading through these posts, I've come to the conclusion that this whole industry is is trouble, especially Nintendo; they in particular "could" (and take this with a grain of salt) be in deep, deep, DEEP trouble. Here's why.....
Because this industry has this "we're pressuring you to come up with something better" mindset when it comes to new hardware every generation, Nintendo pretty much has no choice but to come up with better hardware every gen. Its been getting more and more expensive for a company like them to come up with a successor since they're mainly a gaming company. Sony and MS have their other products to fall back to, They can suffer heavier losses than Nintendo.
What I'm trying to say is pretty much that we're going to see another crash if this industry matures and takes things more seriously.
Yes its Nintendo's fault for the Wii U's initial failure, BUT that doesn't justify (IMO) Nintendo branching off to just software since they haven't failed that badly or that the Wii U is done for. Thats just foolish and naive. Plus they said numerous times that they're taking their IPs with them when/if they sink. I think the best option for them if they want to still be here is if they branch off to other things but still keep it gaming related; and I'm not talking about them releasing their games on non-nintendo hardware.
Plus I don't think you can stick a fork into something that's made with Nintendium.
