"Wii U's poor performance is due to Nintendo's integrated hardware software philosophy"

Nintendo thinks that a console and its games are an indivisible whole like a bow and its arrows. Wii conception is inseparable from Wii Sports conception and vice versa this is what makes Wii so unique.

"A first party devs job is to move hardware, not the other way around."

This amounts to saying that a bow and arrows maker job is to make arrows in order to sell its bows, but that costumers buy are a bow-arrows combinations. A good bow and arrows maker do not make bows in order to sell arrows or arrows in order to sell bows, but makes bows and arrow in order to make the best combination possible.

"Double Dash flopped, WW flopped, Smash sold the best at under 8m units."

These games sold better than any Metal Gear Solid, Gear of War or Assassins creed on a single system and almost on par with Grand Theft Auto IV on XBOX 360 and Halo 1 and 2, on the other hand they have around 20% attach rate whereas Gran Tourismo 3 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas have around 10%...

"NSMBU which has to be the laziest Mario installment"

It is certain that New Super Mario Bros U is a lazier opus than New Super Mario Bros 2. or even Super Mario Bros. 2...

"WW will succeed where MARIO BROS didn't?"

No one at Nintendo would claim to think that a remake of a 10 years old game can sold like new games.
