Why can't the U just be a late bloomer?

Wii is nothing more than an anomaly, they caught lightning in a bottle once, good for them, but that audience is long gone playing on smartphones and tablets. Now it's back to basics and this little list shows you the real power of Nintendo franchises and what the future of Nintendo is going to be if it doesn't open up to 3rd parties and regain a chunk of the regular core market.

Gotta love this "Wii is an anomaly/fluke/doesn't count" nonsense that gets thrown around. Wii is no more anomaly than NES or SNES. Those three are what happens when Nintendo gets it right. N64/GCN/Wii U are what happens when they fuck up.

A lovely story.  How is N64 different from SNES?  How is Wii like SNES?

Wii and SNES were both intelligently managed, N64 not so much.
