Who cares? PS3 was only getting support due to the PS3's similarity to 360 last gen, i betcha that's the same reason they're getting it next gen.

And Nintendo historically has always made profit from their consoles. The real interesting question is what surprises Nintendo will bring from the new indys popping up everywhere (thanks EA!).

Nintendo has basically lost the casual market to tablets and smartphones, and for the core market, the big franchises that actually move systems (if the Wii U even gets them) will be superior on the PS4/Xbox. I think Nintendo is going to reallyyyy struggle with it's identity this generation. The niche market that they're left with is simply too small to sustain high sales levels.


Oh trust me, if you saw the Gamecube Nintendo can still gain high scales through their loyal fanbase. Even with twenty million plus installed base they can still gather quite a bit of cash for their first party.

ditto, and Nintendo lost something which i think has been sorely missed during the launch of Wii U, MS hired Nintendo's key marketing/pr guy for the original Wii.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
