Blackbond and Jason Rubin Tell It Like It Is About Wii U

[Mnementh]

Yes, the WiiU is in a bad spot. And I don't believe it will recover. It will stay at low sales, just like the PS Vita. Should Nintendo go 3rd-party? The question should be get the same answer as the question if Sony should go 3rd-party over the failure of the Vita. Should Nintendo drop the price? As that helps sales it damages the financials, something that is more important for a company than to "win" over the competition.

I believe the WiiU will like the Dreamcast be seen as a cult-console later on. That will not make it successful now, but people will later brag about the cool games on the system. Because the WiiU has cool games. Not the same old same old COD, Battlefield and so on, but W101, Lego City, ZombiU, X and so on.

And no, Nintendo can survive a bad gen different to Sega. To be precise, the Dreamcast already was the second bad gen for Sega. And Sega had no profitable handheld to sustain the losses on the home console.

So, as short:
1. WiiU is a sales-failure.
2. That will not get massively better in the future.
3. WiiU has cool and outstanding games that are missing on different platforms.
4. Nintendo will not die over the failure of WiiU, and it will not go 3rd-party.
