How do you figure it's last of its breed by the time it stops selling it may be at 70 or 80 million or more  that's not a last of its breed ...no your wrong Nintendos dominance in the handheld market is where there bread and butter is at ....yes this generation they are not lighting up like the wii but at the end of the day ...which almost everyone forgets nintendo makes a profit ...no home console they ever produced has made a loss and wii u will be profitable at the end of the generation that is almost certain ....nintendo does not worry about finishing first or last as long as they make a profit and keep shareholders happy 

It's the last of its breed because smartphone gaming is taking over. That's why 3DS has shrunk so much from the DS.

And as I recall, Nintendo have posted losses for the last few years. To get back on track, they need to stop being complacent and start being proactive. They need to listen to the market instead of just doing their own thing.


Smartphone gaming is not increasing at a rate whereas handhelds will go away anytime soon also.....they have reported losses quarterly but so has Microsoft and Sony in their  gaming divisions ..... Sony as a company has lost billions in the last few years ....At the end of the day Nintendo has always made a profit on there home consoles every generation .....and will make a profit at the end of this generation because of software not hardware you are forgetting software is where the most money is made not hardware ....nintendo IP's sells in the tens of millions....only problem nintendo is having is droughts if they can consistently put out software ....there problems will be less of a problem ...because Nintendos IP's sell look at mario kart 8
