Do you really believe that everything is fine? How so?

I would have to go with trestres and just call this as pr bs. Nintendo knows that they made huge (like massive) mistakes in the past two years, or at least I hope they realized they did, and are just doing damage control most likely nothing will come from this.

As a stockholder myself, they have boosted my confidence in them tenfold. Once you realize the impact of the things they are talking about, you will understand.

For starters, take a look at this, which I wrote for one of my OPs:

Given the new unified platform, Nintendo's software library will go from this:

Portable console library	Home console library
Mario Zelda Nintendogs Animal Crossing Pokemon Brain Demon Fire Emblem ... 3rd party games	Mario Zelda Wii Sports Club Wii Party U Donkey Kong Country Art Academy U X ... 3rd party games

to this:

Unified console library

Mario (No duplicates) Zelda (No duplicates) Nintendogs Wii Sports Club Wii Party U Animal Crossing (No duplicates) Donkey Kong Country Pokemon Brain Demon Fire Emblem (No duplicates) Art Academy U (No duplicates) X Mario Kart (No duplicates) ... 3rd party games

 

Then there's the prospect of their new QoL business, which could mean serious money.

And these are my thoughts on that matter.

If nintendo makes their next console a HH/home console hybrid it will be one of the single worst decisions nintendo has ever made. Putting all their eggs in one basket is just not good business sense.

What happens if they have another wiiU like situation on their hands and people end up rejecting the hardware and they don't have anything to fall back on (ie no handheld business to bring in revenue). Not to mention handheld games and home console games offer different types of experiences and gameplay. Has anyone given any thought to a situation like that? It really puzzles me that anyone will see this as a good idea.

If nintendo does this then it will truly be doomed, but to be honest with the current trend of thinking at nintendo I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
