I don't think Nintendo is worried about this. They've found numerous ways to outsmart the competition. It isn't much of how much RAM you have but what you do with that RAM. If your company is smart enough you might just try to make your game playable on all current gen consoles. It isn't like PS, hard core games sold well on Nintendo consoles in the first place. The Wii had a short cut yet prosperous life with its first party software alone. I don't think at all for a second that Nintendo doesn't need 3rd party support but they rarely depend on it.

Outsmart their competition, like they did with the Gamecube and N64?  The WIi had motion control and reached the causal market.  It was a second console for a lot of hardcore gamers also.

Nintendo was trying to bank on having a system that could also get third-party support, but do it in a way that stood out.  As of now, not being able to do third-party AAA releases is going to hurt long-term.  Nintendo maybe carves out its own niche, but the niche is pretty much just the second screen, which Microsoft and Sony do offer solutions for.

Well, we are talking about now. Times have changed. The Wii was the one on top last gen and if Nintendo markets Wii U properly it will have a good following. The second screen that MS and Sony have are bull crap compared to Wii U. The Wii U is based around the gamepad it was made just for the Wii U. The PSV and PS3 cross play is nothing compared to it. Do you even have a Wii U? You can't vouch for something that you don't have.

It really can't be matched and when Nintendo's software shows this later on, it will become quite obvious. How can you even begin to compare the three? The XBOX surface thing is also a joke. If the audience doesn't get Wii U right now then they will really really miss Surface and PSV crossplay. They just aren't the same.

Do people think that Wii  just got lucky because of casuals? It took a large part but there are those that wanted it to play Smash Bros. and Zelda remember? I bet if Sony came up with the Sonii then you'd credit them to the fullest and leave out all casual interactions. Nintendo's name might be "Leave luck to Heaven" but 100+ years of luck is unheard of. Try again bro.
