You keep talking about the virtual boy, but did you have one? You're making an incomplete argument and case here.
NIntendo made some mistakes with the virtual boy. Namely releasing it too soon. Or the tech not being there yet, I dunno, wasnt paying attention to it back then.
Perhaps people just arent fond of black and red 3D.
Not the case with the WiiU. People just need to buy the games for the damn thing.
I like how you love to cherry pick at Nintendo's line up with the WiiU ,its quite funny;look just play the damn games see what they're like, how they play and what they're doing. They're not only banking on their stable of franchises you know? Watch 2014. Watch 2015. Nintendo always pulls out something interesting when they get desperate.
IF they dont take advantage of the boon and variety of titles they have and really push the WiiU, then I say sure they got 99 problems but a handheld isnt one. Nintendo is an old dragon one that sleeps, in a dark cave, hoarding its treasure. Underestimate them at you're own peril.
I just hope they use TW101 , X and their other slew of enthusiast focused titles to push the WiiU as the "Japanese Console" like the 3DS is turning into
When it comes to Valve, I think they can co-exist. They're the innovators in the PC space, Nintendo are the innovators in the console space. Valve can offer a low end streaming solution and a higher end solution,supporting whatever niche they have there in this console wide industry fallout JL predicts.
Its not like a 3D0, the philosphy is too different.
I'd advise you to fully flesh out your arguements rather than just diverging into picking at the dish you're presented with and acting like baby Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog
