Long term it was a terrible move. Instead of becoming arrogant they should have seen their fans leaving in droves and spent some of that $5 billion a year they were making getting core games developed for Wii U.
I think if they had taken even $500 million, given it to 10 epic, reputable development studios and supervised them and told them to make 10 massive experiences on the Wii U at $50 million each, then Nintendo's reputation and the Wii U would both be in better positions right now.
Alas, they waited too long and hoarded their cash because they're Nintendo. They couldn't see the forest for the trees. They were selling the most consoles so the future of gaming must be motion controls right?
