The problem with Nintendo seems to be their conscious choice!

Really...you guys need to start blaming Nintendo and not third parties. Third parties are giving Nintendo games for now but once this gen is over Nintendo well be left out to dry. Nintendo does their own thing and expects third party to follow suit and that is just arrogance.

what companies are setting the rules for the 8th gen? it is not Nintnedo, Sony nor Microsoft, the big arrogant publishers and engine developers are. Those companies don't care about the big three, if they loose money selling their overpowerful consoles (assuming Nintendo does). They just want to make mowny no matter what, but when Nintendo put a stop on it saying: "hey that is not good for our only game bussiness" then Nintendo is arrogant. 

No way, i don't agree with you on that. 

Third parties have become more powerful and have come into their own over the years. They call the shots  now because third parties are the biggest draw for consoles. Look at the Xbox 360 and what third parties did for it and even Sony. He who has the support of the third parties gains the strongest and most loyal following. When Nintendo was on top they never had the best relationship with third parties. They still have not changed their way of business in which they come first and third parties come second. Nintendo refuses to just co-exist with third parties therefore they get into situations where they just get what they get. Devs (especially Ives at Ubisoft) were calling to console makers to launch next gen consoles but the only ones meeting the specs third parties have set seems to be Sony and Microsoft. Epic themselves even said you will need 8GB of ram and responded happily hearing that Sony followed suit.

Third parties make their own games regardless of what platform they are putting it on these days because multiplat seems to be the way to go, but they want to push what they can do. If Nintendo doesn't meet the requirements why should anyone feel bad? Nintendo needs to learn to co-exist.

When the media jumped down Reggies throat on the news (CNN I believe) Reggie told them not jump the gun on the tech assuming Sony and Microsoft would have tech similar to theirs. It turns out Reggie was so wrong and now the Wii U is a non-factor when it comes to pushing tech. They will get exclusives but if you want to see a truly immersive worlds taking proper advantage of next gen engines look no further than PC/PS4/720. The Wii U wont be the one....that might be a hard pill to swallow but what can I say other than it is what it is.
