What if Wii failed?

[S.T.A.G.E.]

Mr.Playstation said:

They would either:
A: Try to find another gimmick. Or
B: Do the same as Sony and Microsoft are doing.

It would have been more likely they would have taken the second route.

The only thing that is sure is that they would not have named it the wii u.

Nintendo would have to swallow their pride to take the second route. They are too proud and controlling of a company to do that. Work with third parties? Fuck that. The Wii was destined to happen. It drew a hollow crowd and did not give Nintendo lasting results but quick pleasure and quick sales. All these loyal gamers that Nintendo found. Where are they?
