They could just, you know, hire more bloody people, but apparently that hasn't occurred them.

See previous comments on market futures.

The console market may possibly be more stable looking forward, but that doesn't mean Wii U was ever a better investment than the 3DS. Currently, there are more people looking to buy the 3DS compared to the Wii U, and that group could've been widened further with better decisions.

In the short term, Nintendo would've been better off supporting the 3DS. If they wanted a strong market for their next home console then they could use the profits earned from supporting a relatively healthy console (3DS) to create a better future for their next home console.

Also, that's true. There's no denying that Nintendo must expand their team.

Nintendo really should have taken advantage of the money-printing days of Wii/DS to buy/build more studios so they could give both systems strong support. I  suppose they did buy Monolith and are kind of outsourcing now to the likes of Tecmo and Namco, but it's not enough.
