3DS is cannibalizing Wii U

You can call them every name in the book ... the fact is that audience is simply more reliable and has the disposal income and free time to play a lot of games.

Games will never be movies, people just need to accept that and move on, movies are their own distinct entertainment medium. Sometimes I just want a story told to me in 2 hours, not something that requires 20 hour time commitment that involves me running around "area X/Y/Z" trying to find "magical key/item Z/X/Y".  By their structure alone these are not even remotely similar entertainment mediums (even those "cinematic" games). 

That audience is reliable as long as you aren't Nintendo, because it thrives on putting Nintendo down. Everything Sony, Microsoft or a third party does becomes better the moment there is some negativity directed at Nintendo.

Well the last time Nintendo did something really relevant for this crowd in a huge way was probably GoldenEye ... like 17 years ago now (lol), so Nintendo really hasn't earned the right to have any credibility with this audience. 

That said, they are the console business now, especially now that Japan is virtually a dead market for consoles. So I mean I don't know what Nintendo's choices are here, do they even want to make consoles anymore? I get the feeling there probably won't be another Nintendo home console in the traditional sense, it'll just be their future handheld chip in a box (like what the Vita TV is) released for the token audience that just needs to play their Nintendo games on a TV.
