Third parties are the bread and butter for Xbox and Playstation but for Nintendo success has come only when they tried to make a mass market device and support it with their own first and second party software. Differentiating its product from competitors, rather than imitating them. |
The Wii U is far closer to the Wii in concept (weak hardware, gimmicky control), then it is to the gamecube (powerful hardware, unitrusive design/control).
Nintendo have had 5 financially successful home console generations and the blue ocean strategy only played part in one of the them. Wii U tried it with the tablet and failed, Wii U is not designed for the core gaming market like the NES, SNES, n64 and Gamecube (all which were all very profitable)
