Yes, that's exactly how I remembered your Capcom thread. Nintendo has the money, so in your opinion it's a mistake for Nintendo to not buy out Capcom. Therefore your thread had a bad premise and was awful.

Not really likely that the Wii U will be a profitable endeavor for Nintendo. They are projecting low overall profits for this fiscal year and the next, and it's going to be the 3DS that is going to push them into the black (if they manage to post a profit). Wii U is a lossleader with no hope for software sales to make up for it towards the end of its lifecycle. The final loss once all is said and done won't be big, but it will be a loss nonetheless.

If they see it as a bad investment and that it is too riaky then they should not buy capcom.

Why wont the Wii U be profitable? The GC sold aproxiametly 20 million. The Wii U has sold 6.4 million in around a year and a half. If it stays selling like this then it will catch up to Gamecube in around 4 more years which is bad, but if that is enough to make it a profit, it will be a small success.

I predict the Wii U to sell around 35  or 40 million.

The gamecube was sold at a profit from the start and also had bigger third party support.  Wii u was sold at a loss until recently and will likely be sold at a loss again in the future when they cut the price.  That makes your comparison faulty.  The profit from the gamecube was also very small, nintendo mostly survived off the success of the game boy during that generation, much like it mostly living off the 3ds now.  

While there is an outside chance of it selling 35 to 40 million, it is very small.  Comparing gamecube to wii u sales since launch, the wii u is tracking behind the gamecube.  The only real chance the wii u has to sell more is if nintendo keeps it on the market for long time without releasing a successor.  Something i really doubt will happen.
