To be honest, Nintendo is getting just worse and worse everyday. I know a lot of people want Nintendo to pull a PS3 to PS4-like transition, but there's a few problems with that: Nintendo has done absolutely nothing to build up consumer confidence -the fact that many speculate Zelda U will be ported to the NX and the fact we know no Metroid is in development loses costumer confidence... you don't want that XD, they don't know how to market -the Wii was marketed very well, the Wii U? Here's a few "trendy" dubstep commericals..., they've made really strange PR decisions (Reggie backtracking Iwata's statement and Reggie saying that they didn't want to disappoint fans by showing amazing Zelda footage at E3? wtf does that even mean?!), the game droughts, the constant delays, etc. There are so many other things they've done wrong that they'll have to seriously do a shit ton to get people to buy their next console. I'm not sure they stand a chance against Sony or MS if they make mid-gen console
