Nope, I think Nintendo should get out of hardware and Just make Software.
Not saying your wrong just that I think Nintendo should get out of the hardware biz.
Wat now

People like you really make me explode inside. Wii= 100 million sales+ DS= 150 million sales+ 3DS= 30 million sales plus (over 2 years)
Obviously, people are buying their hardware. No matter what you play, if you boycott Nintendo for the rest of your life, or their your favorite company, them stopping hardware would be terrible. Anything that one company succeeds in helps other companies in that industry. Many who bought the Wii got into gaming as a hobby, and then purchased an Xbox 360 or PS3. We could be in a gaming crisis right now if it weren't for them because not enough people would be buying games, and these days they have such huge budgets and possibly all gaming could be dead or moved on to tablets and smartphones. Now surely, you wouldn't want that, right? Nintendo is much too influentual in the hardware industry for gaming. Suddenly, once the Wii U starts getting games and selling, we'll all act surprised like it wasn't bound to happen. And then we'll repeat that every 7 years.
Not to mention, without them it's possible gaming wouldn't advance besides just more powerful hardware. Does the Wiimote or Wii U tablet ring a bell? How many people bought the Kinect? A shit ton. The Kinect was an obvious derivative of the Wiimote. Whether you like that or not, it helps gaming.
One more thing, they are good at making hardware. Maybe they're not super powerful, but the funny thing is they don't try to be. When's the last time you heard of a Nintendo console being shipped to somebody completely bricked? Or breaking without being hacked, altered or damaged anyway? Or even falling down a flight of stairs and not working?

^ Great post. And I agree on this matter as well. Obviously, looking at some of my posts here I don't like exactly how Nintendo is managing themselves recently but all of these idiots saying they "are going to go third party" or "need to go third party" all need to kindly shut the fuck up and accept that it ain't happening, nor should it.
Nintendo is the Disney of the gaming industry. They may not always be the most popular, and they will definitely have their ups and downs, but one thing you can bet on is that they are a staple in their respective industry and a merchandising powerhouse as well.
