Makes you wonder where the baseline will be for Wii U sales after the Donkey Kong bump wares off.

Its gonna be a long, long drought for Wii U games between DK and MK. Nintendo are in trouble. Gonna be a bloodbath in Europe especially.

WIi U doesn't deserves these terrible sales, it is actually a really neat console. But with that said, Nintendo deserves to suffer the consequences of their action, because it is literally one fuck up after another plus they don't seem to understand and learn from their mistakes. I hope sooner or later (preferably sooner) they will wake and become that beast the can be - instead of this dazed, lost, sorry sight.

I think a kick in the arse would be a good thing for them, and this is one hell of a kicking.

Its down to arrogance and being stubborn. They had the chance to GREATLY expand during the Wii/DS heyday when they were making the biggest profits the industry had ever seen. Everyone could see that software, while brilliant, was few and far between and the casual crowd could only be held with party and fitness games for so long.

Nintendo needed more teams. Nintendo needed young, new developers and they needed to give them creative freedom. Was the perfect time to expand and they blew it.

Nintendo simply dont have the development capabilities to support 2 platforms without meaningful 3rd party support.
