This fucking company....they make that QOL stuff from Iwata look amazing..I mean at least that's a plan.

Well, by that token "Vita is a really expensive PS4 controller!" is also a plan.

We will have to wait for specifics, but at first blush it sounds like the idea is to divorce Nintendo's gaming line from their lifestyle software like Wii Fit and Brain Age. That sounds like it would only exacerbate their existing problems. I mean, if you take the Wii U's already small install base and subtract the people who want Wii Fit and the like, then it's obviously just that much smaller than before. Where does that get them, exactly? Maybe they'll conjure up some Nintendo magic, but this seems like it will just be more direct competitor to phones and tablets than what they already offer, so it will just fail that much harder.

oh don't get me wrong..I think QOL is a fking dumb idea. It's an extemely competettive field and you already have some options in both xbone and ps4. Without a 'hook' like the wii had it has no chance in hell

in return it could mean even less people buying the wiiu sucessor 

At this point Iwata is just trying to throw things at the wall and see if it sticks. the man has done an incredible job building his image and his board of directors...he isn't going anywhere for a long time.
