Thats debatable, but whatever...

Do I need to explain it to you?

Your answer strongly implies that you want a core machine or whatever from Nintendo, because that means Nintendo will make more games that you are going to buy. Did I get this right? Of course I did.

However, the catch is that such a core machine is unsustainable and thus Nintendo has to shift into survival mode. That's what the Wii U is currently in. What this means is that Nintendo has not announced any new big titles since they've become aware of how much of a lost cause the console is. Instead they had to settle for games like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, because those games are cheaper and faster to produce. On top of that, Nintendo had to introduce additional ways to get money from you which is the logical result for a company that deals with a smaller pool of consumers. The bottom line is that you get fewer games and pay more for many. The costs go up for you, but the amount of games goes down.

On the other hand, if Nintendo designs a machine that can sell to a broader audience, they won't have to worry anywhere near as much about their games not making back their development costs. This means that games you want to buy have an actual future and Nintendo can make more of them because the console can last many years without problems. Additionally, Nintendo won't have to think about how they can maximize the amount of money they can get from you, because they are already making a good amount of profit to begin with. So if you aren't a selfish prick, it's actually better for you in the long run.


I didnt say that. I love the Wii. I was referring to people like the guy I just asked if he had a WiiU or 3DS...
