The Reason Why Nintendo isnt doing well is simple. Right now Sony and Microsoft are having there personal war just like Snes and Genesis Were back in the 90s. I Guarentee you Microsoft took a heavy loss black friday for selling the console at the 329 price just to stay relvent with the ps4. For one thing owning Either xbone or Ps4 is consider the cool thing to have especially in america while Wii u s considered "kiddy". Also Nintendo somewhat blew there opportunity with 3rd party by making the console underpowered and hard to develop for. If Nintendo Made the Wii U a Bit more powerful and made it Developer Friendly it wouldnt have the problem it has now. Also Wii u was somewhat a bad name for the console since the Wii had a bad view on the name. I believe That if Nintendo learned from its Mistakes from this generation then they have a chance to win 9th gen since the issue of the Console power (graphics, processing etc.) its pretty much become more irrelevent as time passes. Pc gaming is slowly Taking away that glory from Sony and Microsoft Since even those console are consider underpowered already by devs. All Nintendo Needs to do is learn from this loss. They had the Potential to win this Gen but with pour marketing, bad naming, underpowered, unfriendly to developers, and a bit of cockyness They will pretty much end up in 3rd place as far as marketshare goes. In Terms of Profitabilitaty Nintendo Profit 100% percent from there 1st party Games and are profiting for every system sold (including 3ds) so there still making there money, but they arent making as much as the could pontentially be making.
