The sad thing is that no matter how well it does, is gonna make lose money to Nintendo anyways, this is gonna be a great way to keep the most hardcore part of its fans happy, but not to make money, oh well, I guess it will sell some consoles too, and people will buy more games for those consoles so I guess it could be profitable in the long run. I guess.

At this stage, keeping their core fanbase happy and strengthening their image is more helpful to Nintendo than a few more dollars in software sales.

Short term pain, long term gain.
