You're the one who chose to make an argument to cut down Sony when technically you're both right. Sony largely had a third party fleet and they had great first party as well. Problem is it was swallowed up by the variety of third party. He was right, Sony did have something for everyone, which is something Nintendo needs once more.

I would agree if you wouldn't always claim that Nintendo "needs" this or that. Financially they don't need to expand on their portfolio. If you had said instead you wished Nintendo would create (or would let create) more new IPs which are different from their existing ones (like they did with Xenoblade),  I'd agree.

It is getting to the stage now though where Nintendo does need to make changes. They've had a run of consecutive operating losses (largely due to poor Wii I and Western 3DS sales) , which is unfathomable considering the situation they were in only a couple of years ago.

They've lost third parties and the Wii U is clearly not offering a wide enough selection of games to appeal to the market. If the company wishes to remain in the home console space, they must start creating games aimed at appealing to a Western audience.
