Everytime we're talking about Nintendo and the WiiU I always read some comments like "WiiU is one generation behind...", "Nintendo should have made the WiiU as powerfull as the Ps4...", "They're alienating 3rd party developers due to weak hardware..." etc.etc.  Of course, I don't agree. While I agree Nintendo has made some horrible mistakes this gen, I don't believe the problem is the (weak) hardware. A Nintendo console similar to the Ps4 or the Xbox One wouldn't work anyway. Going for a weak (and affordable) hardware is the best choice for them.

So, without any presumption to end this debate but just for fun, I've tried to imagine 2 completely opposite scenarios and guess in which case Nintendo could get the best results.


Option 3)

Drop the consols... sell the Games on PC/PS4+XB1.

That solves both option A) and B).

If nintendo dont even want to try to compete against the ps4 or xb1 with their machines, they shouldnt.

This would be a better Option than "nintendOUYA" in my opinion.

My point is not that Nintendo should make a console like OUYA, that's is taking to the extreme. What I mean is they shouldn't play by PS and XB rules; making an accessible and affordable console is more important for them than make a powerfull one and getting AAA support.

They could drop consoles and making games on other platforms, but they would give up hardware sales, plus that wouldn't cover teh cazualz and kids and families, so plan A would still be the better option.
