WiiU will sell better than Gamecube.

Then I'd assume you believe that there was and has never been a successful home console from any manufacturer; If the NES(!) wasn't a success according to you? 

NES revived a dead home console market, and the Gameboy created the handheld market..Dude you're older than me, how do you not know this?

I don't think you understand their point. They are saying that the NES was a success sales-wise and that it did revive the gaming industry. At the same time, it put a very bad taste in the mouths of 3rd party developers that decided to jump ship as soon as the chance arrived. (PS1)

Nintendo basically killed its relationship with 3rd parties is what the point is. That is true, and from that perspective the NES did negatively effect Nintendo in the long-term.

  A Toon Zelda would worsen their image in the eyes of non-fans by reinforcing the "kiddy" stereotype.

 

If they are non-fans, why would they buy the system anyway? I agree, the new Zelda shouldn't be a toon artstyle but if it was, I don't think it'd kill the Wii U officially.

 

To that I say, thirds can kiss ass. Quiet as its kept third parties were responsible for the industry crash, though they were able to push blame on Atari. They also expect console manufacturers to subsidize their risks. They no longer have that kind of power. In fact, if another crash is to come the blame will fall on third parties.
