They should release a console that doesn't make them look like Nintendo's playing "catch up".


Well, both of my options result in that. I figure you're saying both are good?

Nintendo should ride the Wii U out, releasing as many new IP, until next gen starts. Show the world that Nintendo is more than just those franchises.  When next gen rolls around the corner, Nintendo's next gen system specs should be equal or on par with Sony & MS, and with Nintendo's new IPs that were released on the Wii U, gamers will have a new feel and anticipation to want Nintendo's next system which is what Nintendo is missing.

Nintendo needs to do similar to what Sony did.  When Sony was losing exclusives on PS3, Sony was like "F**k it, we'll just release our own new games then!" (Got kind of gangster there lol) So Nintendo needs to do the same since they're not getting enough 3rd party support.  Now gamers that pick up a PS4 have the sense of their existing IPs (ie Uncharted) but also have the sense of surprise for new 1st party IP (ie 1886 The order) because Sony does delivers.  Nintendo doesn't. (I can't say much about MS because I haven't play enough of their games but they're loaded so they can delivier whenever they want lol) I purchased my Wii U full well knowing what games to expect from Nintendo.  After I pick up Bayonetta 2, X, and a new Mario Party, that's all I see left of what Nintendo has to offer me because Nintendo hasn't brought enough new things for me to be surprised about.  Other games know full well what to expect from Nintendo too which is why some doesn't buy it.

So for Nintendo's next gen to be back on the same playing field as Sony and MS, they need to catch up on the specs and give gamers the sense of surprise by releasing new IPs now for the Wii U. That's just how I feel because if Nintendo still ends up being the same, then I may or may not pick up their next system because I know what to expect.
