You're a joke.

You are an idiot.

What you and a lot of other Nintendo fans need to grasp is that the Wii could absorb GameCube DNA without its death sentence being signed immediately. It doesn't and can't work vice versa. Therefore it comes down to a simple choice for Nintendo fans: You either support the Wii direction (and secure a future for the games you like) or you desperately try to think of a workaround, so that Nintendo doesn't have to make a Wii. But no matter what, the latter will always result in failure.

That unhealthy love for the Wii U and 3DS makes people believe that there's no space in the market anymore for a Nintendo home console and a Nintendo handheld, but all those two failures mean is that the GameCube DNA will never work. Yes, the 3DS is full of GC DNA, in case you haven't noticed. Nintendo can easily make more home consoles and handhelds, they just have to make sure that the hardware doesn't suck so hard that it drags everything down with it. When you look at Nintendo's updated shipments for Mario Kart 7 and New Super Mario Bros. 2, those two games have barely moved during the last year. This shows that the people who buy the 3DS are those who embrace Nintendo's N64/GC ways, and the only reason why the 3DS doesn't sell as low as the two aforementioned home consoles is that it doesn't face a PS1/PS2. If the 3DS reached the usual Nintendo handheld audience, then its "evergreens" would be actual evergreens.

isnt the 3ds on track to outsell GBA? or am I wrong on that?
