Things about nintendo that you're wrong about.

Agree with most except 4 and 5. Bayonetta and Devils Thirds. Both of them are bad/weak investments and that will be blindingly clear on release.

I agree that Nintendo needs to diversify its portfolio, so did sony but that didn't make Knack and good launch title lol. No one will buy a Wii U to play devils third, Beyonetta is too niche to make a big difference but it will be the strongest system seller in the west outside of the west. Before Nintendo can really worry about reaching to a whole new audience (with one compelling mature game- Bayo), they need to worry about actually securing their core audience whom are still largely avoiding the Wii U. A Platinum produced Starfox arriving this year would have done significantly more to hardware then Bayo. Devils Third simply shouldn't exist.

I'm not with the whole Nintendo going 3rd party argument but the Xbox and Playstation brands are more powerful then Nintendo's. If sony went down under someone would keep hold of playstation, same with xbox. In the console space Xbox is a more reliable brand then Ninty and Sony's last 3 consoles have sold double the amount of Nintendo's last 3. The 3rd party argument exists because Nintendo's power is in ''Mario'' not in ''Nintendo''. Where Microsoft and Sonys powers lie in their respective console brands more then their IPs.

edit: Actually Nintendo really could drop the tablet. There are like 2 wii U games that need it really and they're not even the best selling. Everything else can be played with a normal gamepad or wii remote. They can always bundle the gamepad seperately with Nintendo Land and Wii U play and Splatoon when it eventually arrives.
