This actually make a lot of sense. Let's see:
Virtual boy followed the sames steps, with every new number of nitnendo power with less space for the thing.
Nintendo don't care about the how PS4 and x1 is doing the things.
Nintendo don't care about thirdy party desires.
Myamoto areadly said that they would draw resources to make software for QoL plattaform, to have fun on their software.
Iwata stated on last Q&A that they wouldn't try to push wiiu with huge marketing efforts like they did last christmas, since that didn't really worked out as they planned. So, doesn't look like they really expect their profits to raise on base of wiiu.
So yeah, it make senses on some ways.
And i don't like gamespot either, but i really have to deliver props for then. For the first time ever i see a Nintendoom article that not state: "nintendo will develop for PS4 and x1 like sega", "nintendo will releasea console like ps4 and x1", "nintendo will develop for mobiles now", "nintendo will get rid of the gamepad and give price drop to the machine","nitnendo will give us a PSN+ like service, but with VC stuff"
So i will believe on this guy for once. And i still believe that the plattaform will hold something like is on my signature.
TIP: This thread will so much from 1,5 year from now...
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
