Hmmm. Nintendo. You got me to buy your Wii U because of Tropical Freeze and 3dMW. But your issue is getting 3rd party support. That's why your console is struggling.
I fear concentrating on unifying handheld and console architecture is a different mistake but one that will alienate 3rd parties still. The Wii U would ave 3rd party support if it was more inline with the power of Xbox and Playstation. Then porting would be simple. But my worry here is using handheld architecture in the next console will only further increase the power gap. Making the existing problem worse.
How many handheld gamers will want to repurchase the same game on a brand new console? |
Do we really need 3 (well if Steambox is successful, lets make it 4) consoles that do the exact same thing?
I think there are plenty of people who are not willing to buy a Wii U for DKC: TF or Mario Kart 8 or Zelda U ... but they would buy those games on a Nintendo portable.

I think you miss my point. Wii U is struggling because of no 3rd party support. Completely down to power. Nintendo would be selling more if its buyers were getting the Ninty first partry but also getting all the 3rd party offerings its missing as well. Thee first partied are what differentiates the console,it shouldnt be the power that dictates that.

Those days are just over, Nintendo is never going to make that type of console again. Part of the whole appeal of making a unified platform like this is Nintendo wouldn't neccessarily need third parties to fill out their release list any more. If third parties want to join the party at that point they can, if they don't, so be it. Nintendo has content either way.
