Quick SWOT analysis of big N - it is obvious from it that N needs to launch a new console early to mid-gen THIS gen - we should start a plea for Nintendo to play the disruptive card big time. The real question is when ? Please give an answer each from a strategical point of view. Not when you want it but when it should be.

Strenghts :

Strong Main Brand

Strongest Game Brands

Dat gameplay

Financially sound as phuck

Most varied audience

Weaknesses :

Has disregarded graphics for two gens - loss of competence / next-gen "culture" software-wise

Has disregarded graphics for two gens - loss of competence / next-gen "culture" hardware-wise

Has disregarded Internet-enabled features for two gens (dat account system por favor)

Lack of 3rd Party Support

Opportunities :

Wii U needs to be replaced within two years

Retro-compatibility & retro-gaming (most beloved catalog)

Threats :

Sony and MS are eating the home console market

A long absence is only making things worse

3rd parties don't really require a third console

 

Nintendo is in your living room right now.
They don't need a new console. They already have one.

It's called the Wii U & it will rule the living room for gaming in the 8th generation.
