After the Wii U disaster, will you buy Nintendo's next console?

[Dunban67]

If you bought a Wii u day 1 ( I did) or the 1st month or so after launch, it was defiantly a disaster - as far as a Nintendo is concerned it has been and still is a disaster because they have lost a lot of money ( and prob will continue to for a while longer ) due to the Wii u and how they have handled it. It is also a disaster due to a massive loss of market share -

Even though the Wii u situation appears to be improving, it has a ways to go. Nintendo lost credibility early on by announcing multiple big game delays post launch after the holiday sales season - they lost credibility due to trumpeting 3r party support but not following thru- they alienated many core and casual gamers - they had and continue to have long game droughts - the list goes on

Some on these boards may say they feel differently but to the typical consumer at best and to many long time fans at worst, they have lost credibility as far as what they comunicate to the market place -

Having said the above, I may or may not buy the next Nintendo home console for our household, but if I do it would be only after a strong and diverse library is in place - so it would probably be the 2nd Christmas on the market at earliest and 2.5 years or more on the latter side

There is a lot I like about Nintendo, it's games and consoles but I do not feel they gave thier best effort re the wiiu and they did not seem to acknowledge it ( via taking action to do something about it) till this last e3) and we have still only had 2 big releases over the 1st 8 months of this year

IMO it will be difficult ( although not impossible) for Nintendo to get early "buy in" for its next console - they will have to invest a massive amount on the front end and take far bigger/earlier risk than they are accustomed to doing In order to have a successful launch of their next console because most people, including many of their most ardent supporters will " wait and see" before committing.
