How so? Microsoft already do pretty much everything I suggested. They did have a non optional gimmick to start with (even though that has now changed)  and the name is odd, but both of those things are also true of the Wii U.

I love that Nintendo is getting exclusives because the third parties ship.  I doubt I would get to play Bayonetta 2 or Devil's Third exclusively if Nintendo actually had third party backing.  Nintendo "should just finish what games they are currently making for it and then focus completely on a brand new really good console, like you know what a good console is.  Nintendo's online is fine for the most part, and don't have to be like the PS4 or XOne.  You're feeling some type of way cause the XOne is in last, and it will be that way for a very long long time.

I can see what you mean about Bayonetta and Devil's Third. Yeah they probably should keep doing that. But I was thinking more getting equal versions of stuff like FIFA, AC, GTA etc. Getting them exclusive would be way too expensive if even possible so they should focus on exclusive marketing deals instead, like Sony and Microsoft do. Stuff like Bayonetta is great for Wii U gamers but it isn't going to pull in as many people as a big multiplat that is at the very least equal to the other versions would.

I'll be honest, I don't know a whole a lot about Nintendo's current online so I'm mainly saying they should improve that because of what I've read elsewhere. If that stuff is true then there are definitely things to improve, but as I said I don't know for sure.

With regards to your last comment... I'm a dual Sony/Microsoft fanboy so my side is also in 1st place and will stay that way for a very long long time

Sorry to butt in, but i wanted to give you more of a heads up on Nintendos current online. Whilst not on par with Playstation and Xbox, i can honestly say that they have made great strides with their sevices. The online games ive played (COD,Mario Kart, Monster Hunter) have been very smooth and robust, and love it or loath it, Miiverse really is a great social media for real gamers. I have made many a good friend on there, and have engaged in a lot of really positive gaming discussions. The streaming services function fine, the Eshop is very good, the console is always updating, even in standby mode and this is all free. I do feel people somewhat exaggerate when they say Nintendos online is terrible, its not the best out there but its very good at what it does.
