Purple said: I love Nintendo, but I do wonder if they've missed their opportunity in keeping the momentum rolling after the Wii. They should have invested in a number of studios and really flooded their new systems with first party software (which hopefully would have maintained the usual impeccable Nintendo quality). Instead they went conservative and hoped third parties would come back to them; they haven't and now things are looking very ugly. |
The Wii gen never ended with momentum. It gained sales off of the casual market which went stagnant after the short supply fell through.

I'm not going to get involved in a "wii only sold to casuals" argument (it didn't), but I was referring to the financial momentum. I would have liked to see them investing that income in new studios to improve their output, rather than just taking the conservative option of putting it in a bank account for a rainy day.
