there are several subgroups of gamers so i don't care about ill used and abused terminology.
"Too bad for their fanbase who has to now buy another console because..."
too bad for them, they must buy gaming PC for playing multiplatform games in acceptable quality, proper RTS and Flight Simulators, XBOX for Halo and even Playstation for some Japanese games too bad.
LOL...Yes....let them make it alone for PC with those large budgets and hope for profit. PC gamers must wait to get their seconds because the games are made for console audiences whilst PC gamers get the better version of the product. Not all multiplats go to PC as well. Just remember that.
"Nintendos constant arroange which never ends." and i hope so, you know Fortune favours the bold.
The Wii was indeed bold, but was actually the least used console throughout the gen. So much for utility. Its called a cash grab which is why at E3 all they could talk about was money instead of games until like 2011.
"Nintendo has made strides for third party titles despite what you're saying" well they probably know what kind of hardware Epic required for UE4, in case of 7th generation, there was no option unless they were crazy enough to join bleeding party with Microsoft and Sony.
Its obvious they either didn't know or didn't care. Wait...since when was Nintendo ever in the loop with Epic? Epic games are built for different audiences, sorry to say. Nintendo singled themselves out and now are percieved as something rather that the console that can encompass everything like their competition is going for.
"Nintendo hasn't been that successful in a while." well success is extremely relative, if the WiiU became profitable for them with great 1st and 2nd party games then is certainly success.
The profited, because they keep their consoles cheap. The Wii was a lightening in a bottles chance but it did it and because it was a gimmick the fanfare faded quickly. It was a momentary pleasure console. Nintendo knows they wanrt more for their legacy than that.
"The Wii used its gimmick and got a victory that was short lived and only lasted about four years."
whatever you wish but the gimmick known as Wii and DS secured them future and in this case it was well worth.
The DS isn't a gimmick and their handhelds have always been well taken care of. Thats where Nintendo will continue to gain their third party support on consoles that dont push tech and are cheap with higher profit incentive.
"This is a miss after their hit with the Wii." too early to tell but if their software became compelling enough, i'm sure the future is bright for them
I never worry about Nintendo profiting, as I said they make their products cheap to make sure profits come quicker. Problem is that Nintendo is going to rub people the wrong way who game exclusively to them despite what you might think by warding off the third parties. They have a talent for it.

FPS, and WRPG in other words most successful games of today originated on PC, the PC can generate multi million sellers, of course the games come later on PC but remember there are many games worth playing in the meantime exclusive to PC.
"The Wii was indeed bold, but was actually the least used console throughout the gen."
Nintendo can produce only so many games and the 3rd party effort was not worth, but the fact is they succeeded with Wii.
"Epic games are built for different audiences, sorry to say."
perhaps but i personally don't care, understand one thing most of us know nothing about B2B relations, so what happened between them is matter of rumors and speculations.
"Nintendo singled themselves out and now are percieved as something" good for them 3rd platform holder with similar content is nonsense, their philosophy is extremely different.
"The Wii was a lightening in a bottles chance but it did it and because it was a gimmick the fanfare faded quickly." exactly when they stopped to support Wii, it has normal life cycle of most gaming systems.
"Nintendo knows they wanrt more for their legacy than that."
this is certainly up to them and their fans to decide, in my opinion any legacy is better than those build upon CoD and GTA crowd, or the legacy that Sega build.
"The DS isn't a gimmick and their handhelds have always been well taken care of. "
The Wii has very good library of games i can't complain wheter it was gimmick or not is not important
"I never worry about Nintendo profiting, as I said they make their products cheap to make sure profits come quicker. Problem is that Nintendo is going to rub people the wrong way who game exclusively to them despite what you might think by warding off the third parties."
They can't afford to lost billions on hardware build for games no one care about on their platforms, they build hardware for realizing their vision and this is exactly what i'm glad they did this.
