its pretty simple; Nintendo needs to make a pure console with regular controllers and nothing insanely innovative. make an easy platform for 3rd parties to flock to and put their multi-plat titles on. that coupled with Nintendo's strong IP's could make for a winning formula. I know it sounds simple but frankly when is the last time Nintendo took a simple and pretty route? the Gamecube failed because of those little mini disks, the Wii succeeded (but was a mega risk), and now the Wii U fails because its harder to develop for and has the quirky touchpad controllers (also the 3rd parties already left a while ago I guess)
but seriously I think a lot of Nintendo fans like me just want great GAMES and regular hardware. why can't we have a traditional controller and decent spec system? why do there have to be gimmicks? Nintendo could pull back in the 3rd parties and dominate if they would just stop trying to think outside of the box so much
3rd parties are afraid to take risks with Nintendo because they know that Nintendo is more concerned with its own IPs and 'ideas' than anything else. which makes sense! but it doesn't exactly scream "MAKE GAMES FOR MY SYSTEM"
would love to have a simple controller but comfortable (like the Gamecube one) and a competitively spec-ed system and play all of Nintendo's best titles on it. I don't understand why they can't do that.
short and sweet and simple
at any rate, Nintendo is not stupid and will either succeed with another Wii like gimmick or go to a more straightlined approach and make a higher spec system that is simply for pure gaming. I think what they don't understand as much lately is that gamers care more about the software than the hardware. I don't care about special controllers. I care about the games. and in reality weird controllers and Nintendo taking 'risks' like that distract from the games in my opinion
