| RolStoppable said: Nintendo will still be alive and kicking. Despite an atrocious eighth gen showing, they've mostly eliminated Sony from the handheld space already. Additionally, their financials are on the rise again, so it isn't even up for consideration to bow out of the home console space. And due to the unique characteristics of the video game business (new system means a reset of perception), the Wii U's failure doesn't dent Nintendo's image all that much. |
Oh, so it's Nintendo that eliminated Sony from handheld space? What has eliminated two thirds of Nintendo's handheld space?
OT, I don't think the comparison to Dreamcast is relevant. The Wii U's doing bad, but Nintendo is still in strong financial shape. They should be able to carry on business as usual throughout Gen 8. I'm more concerned about how they will get a foothold in Gen 9, especially keeping users on handhelds will be important.
