I watched this before. He makes some good points but specs are not always important when determining success

He stated that as well, but thats Nintendos biggest achillies heel. In new gens third parties are looking to expand what they can create and Nintendo just isnt working with them.

I thought nintendo would finally get some decent 3rd party support, but seeing what has already happened i dont think that will happen. I think Nintendo will have to carry themselves until they get a decend instalbase for developers to see what the WiiU's worth.

Well, Nintendo has not been recieving  support form 3rd parties since the N64, so there´s not a big surprise if this doesn´t happen (again) with the WiiU.

In a certain way, it´s understandable why Nintendo didn´t try to make a more powerful machine: price. It´s clear that videogame is becoming a niche market again, as sales continue to shrink year-by-year, and it seems that consumers are not willing to spent big money on consoles anymore (Vita, anyone?), and if any company wants to stay competitive on this market consoles must be cheap. I believe that both PS4 and XBox720 (?) will also have slow starts, I just wonder how long videogame companies can cope with those slow starts again.

Its not about power. Nintendo tried to ride the trend of casuals buying tablets and fell flat on their face. They realize that casuals are buying tablet games and ipod games which are tearing into the gaming market and this disrupts the DS. They were campaigning to win over the casuals with the tablet and get the core to come along so they could have both. Dumb decisions, because casuals want to see a new way to game where they dont have to work to get into gaming just like the Wii.
