In general, I personally wouldn't call the decisions made by Nintendo stupid like too many people do. Many times they can only be called stupid in hindsight. Some of them aren't stupid, but are a bit greedy. I mean, at the time I do not think that most people would have seen gaming grow to where it is today.
There are many reasons Nintendo made the "bad decisions" they did, and none of them were "stupid" for the time. While it seems like all I do is defend Nintendo or damage control and whatever, I do it because almost no one talks about it. I certainly don't like when these things are missed out. It paints the situation much differently and people start feeling the wrong emotions.
In the end, I am certain if Nintendo saw any of this coming they wouldn't have repeated their mistakes. It seems to me that too many people feel that Nintendo makes mistakes because they're "stupid" and "don't know what they're doing." It's pretty obvious to me that Nintendo is trying to strengthen their relationship with 3rd parties and create new ones with Indies. I feel that anyone who denies it hasn't been keeping up with gaming news.

i wasnt calling nintendo's decisions stupid, i was calling EA's and Konami's choice to not release their sports games on the WiiU stupid.
@bolded: well thats really a concerning point, they keep making a lot of these mistakes, i wouldnt say its because they are "stupid". they do them because they are out of touch with the industry, and other than the Wii they seemed to show that with every home console since the N64
