As long as they have the same people running nintendo I don't think they've 'Learned' anything. Sony showed they learned something even before the ps4, it was incredible the way they salvaged the ps3. The ps3 and wii u started out pretty similar. Both being systems that lacked games and being systems 3rd party publishers wanted to ignore. But Sony did something to change that with the ps3 and Nintendo isn't doing the same at all with the wii u.

Actually, that would be arguable. The PS3 was a black hole of money for Sony, both for its developement and for all of the effords Sony needed to recover its condition. The WiiU may lose money, but its not nearly as harmful as the PS3 was. It would be interesting to campare profits and expenses of those two machines.

The ps3 was a financial disaster. No one can argue that, but the reason I brought up the ps3's situation was to show how sony was looking forward. They were not only trying to salvage the ps3, but the playstation brand itself. They wanted to keep people thinking that playstation was the system to go to for games. For their acclaimed first/ second party titles as well as a vast and diverse library of third party games. And that's just something Nintendo doesn't do. It's at the point now that when people think Nintendo, they only think mario, zelda, mario kart, and smash bros. If those games don't appeal to them, they think of Nintendo as this sort of useless gaming company.
