Do we really need another thread talking about this?


No, no we do not.  It seems like there are more of these threads every day


i honestly wanted a discussion that focus more on the strategies nintendo should take, so i was hoping for a more bussines oriented thread. though no problems did accure in the thread and everybody seems sensible, i know we been getting a lot of WiiU threads, but i was more interested in seeing what they might do and talk about it. for example should they do like the same they did with the 3DS and keep their essential strategy? or should they change their focus?


Change their focus?  They don't have that luxury.  They're a company that makes software that runs on their hardware.  There isn't anything else for them to do other than to continue making games that run on their hardware.  That's all they do.  It's not like they're Microsoft or Sony where they have the last resort option of dumping their game division if they can't make money from it.   It's their only purpose and their only division. 


bu changin their focus i mostly meant changing their target audience. Nintendo did say they wanted to sell to everybody, the casuals, the core, the family, the kids, pretty much everybody. should they change that goal? should they try focus on a single audience, sell to them to get the WiiU in a good sales position, then try to expand their target audience?

Well that's what they're doing.  Iwata even states in investor Q&A's that their approach at first is targeting Nintendo fans to build up the install base and then when the system has a solid base they begin expanding the audience for medium and late-term adopters.
