what you expect from them to transform itself to 3rd platform holder whose existence dependent in its entirety on 3rd parties goodwill


No, Nintendo has enough cash to survive for quite a bit. The problem with them this gen is:

Casuals

- The gimmick failed because you cant surprise a casual with tablet games and start a trend. Once casuals have seen it the glimmer is over, which is why its called a gimmick.

- Where is are Wii U fit and casualized first party games? Thats all the casuals care about.

- 

 

-Hardcore gamers

- Courted third parties enough to gather current gen multiplats, they WILL be cut off next gen to ensure multiplats maintain a high level of quality and realize their art direction based on high parameters let by third parties last gen.

- They focus too much on the DS, and this probably isnt a bad thing in a way because the handhelds have always sold better than their 

- Console is severely underpowered by a large margin. Nintendo gamers love to trivialize this but its really no joke. Epic doesn't even think Nintendo should get Unreal 4 because of it.

The hardcore gamers make no money for Nintendo so that a non-issue.

As for casuals, dude give the console time. They are preparing games for it and they will release come this holiday. Nintendo aren't retarded, and we know something's cooking, they can't just be doing nothing.

Also, why are you talking about gimmicks, and what do you consider a gimmick?
