Nintendo can blame the inability to sell Wii U systems due to lack of brand differentiation, poor advertising, and of course the lack of games that shift software. They have made mistakes and the reason things are looking so up right now, is because they were so low. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo releases a new console in the next 3 years, (2016ish). XBone has the boost due to the pseudo-price drop and good amount of quality games out and on the horizon. PS4 sold so well initially due to lower price than XBone at the beginning and a Marketing campaign that somewhat resembled the "Droid does what I doesn't". The thing is both the PS4 and XBone have really great lineups of nearly identical games coming out, large third party support and should both start selling like hot-cakes around the holiday season, the second holiday is always a great measure of the system. Ninty dropped the ball. The thing I don't understand is why they just don't make HD ds type games, like a Nintendogs U or something cheap that could move systems. And tell third parties if they can just port games without using the gamepad, extra time, extra cost and lower sales combine to Nintendo losing all that initial great third party support and greater flocking to the Big Dogs.
