This is one of the dumber things I've read, Wii & DS are Nintendo's most unique handheld and console ever and sold over 250 million units of hardware, nearly 2 billion units of software and make something like $15 billion dollars in profit over 5 years.

These devices didn't hurt their reputation, 3DS & Wii U hurt Nintendo's reputation by having awful strategies that go against what made Wii/DS so successful.

The wii didn't hurt Nintendo rep? C'mon are you in denial? If the wii brand is so strong why has the wii u only sold 10mil? Because it's associated with the wii that's why.

The WiiU sold only 10m by being totally unappealing to any demographic. Do you think a console like the WiiU could have been succesfull after the Gamecube? I don't think so.
