This gen could very well be the gen where 3rd parties plummet and Nintendo and indie games are the only viable business platforms in the industry.

Certain "journalists" will bash Nintendo because it gives them a sense of joy to put down what the inner-circle rejects. But in the end, the WiiU will hit a mass-market price with a DS-like library and it will hit them in the face just how wrong they are. The only problem is, I'm not sure they have the intelligence to realize they're been and will continue to be wrong.

Also, their big argument is the ability to subsidize the price over a subscription. It doesn't take a supercomputer to offer that service.

The GameCube hit mass market really quickly and still failed to sell.

Nintendo didn't know how to sell games that appealed to a mass market then. See bold.

The times have changed.

It seems that they forgot how to do that with the WiiU. And even with the 3DS, Brain Age and Nintendogs aren't as big as they used to be.
