Seems like an excellent console but I will never buy one. Just not into Nintendo first party games. They are obviously of a high caliber but unfortunately they are not my thing. The two biggest releases this year are a good example with Mario Kart and Smash Bros. I do not like racing or fighting games on any level. I haven't owned Nintendo hardware since the GameCube.

Not a console made with me in mind and that is okay. From what I have seen from its' fans they are perfectly happy with it which is all that matters.

As a fan of gaming in general I do hope the sales improve, though. It seems like it is really struggling and I hate to see that. I knew it would never do Wii numbers but certainly thought it would perform better than it has. Hopefully its' fortunes will turn around soon.

What an excellent post, although its not for you, its nice to see you want the console and Nintendo to succeed. Im a massive Wii U fan, wont be buying a PS4/XB1, but nice to see them doing good and keeping the industry healthy :)

Thank you. I appreciate that. I think someone thought I was giving a backhanded compliment or something so it is nice to see what I said came across as genuine to a Nintendo fan. I do not go for the vitriol that comes from the console wars. In my time with gaming I have owned most of the major consoles at one time or another. Hell, "Eternal Darkness" is one of my top five games of all time (why are they not doing anything with this IP? It boggles my mind. Is there something I am missing?). I am mostly a multiplat guy but when an exclusive comes out it seems to be produced by Sony so that is who I go with but it certainly does not mean I do not respect the other console makers and what they try to achieve. Nintendo offers a unique experience vs. the competition and that is desperately needed in gaming. I absolutely want them to do well. :)
