The truth about Nintendo

I get what the OP is saying. But frankly Nintendo doesn't owe anyone jack squat. If you paid $300 for a brand new Wii U, you got a brand new Wii U. If you decide to buy a $60 game for the Wii U, you got a $60 game for the Wii U. If Nintendo decides to pocket 80% of the profits, who are you to complain? You get what you paid for. I'm not happy with the Wii U's third party offerings or even the inconsistent 1st and 2nd party offerings but Nintendo doesn't owe me jack squat personally.

What Nintendo does with it's 3rd party partners is its business. Yes, it is frustrating. They can improve a lot. But Nintendo is Nintendo. Just don't buy a Nintendo console or buy a Nintendo console and a PS4 or Xbox One as I will eventually.

I don't understand why people want Nintendo to invest all their wealth or billions. If that were the case, then Nintendo probably would have died a long time ago because that is not the way to run a successful business. This is why studios are shutting down/bankrupting and developers are flocking to smartphone games.

You've read and understood the OP but you have your own perspective about the facts that were presented. That's fine by me. I respect your opinion.

I just can't accept what you say on the 3rd paragraph. It's not like Nintendo must keep 32 billion dollars or it dies.

And devs are migrating to smartphones because people are migrating to them in the first place. Had the console business comprise 800M new systems per year and the smarphones with only 30M or 50M and you would see what kind of software was hot and printing money.
