What you said about us Wii U owners not being a part of Nintendo potentially losing money if we abandoned them isn't entirely true. I'm a part of their solution, too. As, I also own a PS4. The casual audience have gone to their phones & tablets & aren't coming back. The market they're in is the hardcore gaming market. I'm in that & will buy third party games for the NX if it's a hybrid. I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan who bought the Wii U for Mario Kart & Smash Bros. I also have Splatoon & every main Mario game on Wii U & 3DS. But, I also like GTA, COD, Nba 2K, Star Wars Battlefront, etc. I would love that stuff on a hybrid handheld, too. Instead of being forced to use my TV. I am a hardcore Nintendo fan who they owe more too & am part of their solution.

 

A lot of you are missing his point, the casuals and such never walked away in fact many of them are still around on 3DS as Tomodachi Life showed, Nintendo just stopped catering to them this gen just to cater to gamers like yourself as they did during the GC era. Many of them would come back if they started catering to them again, the 3DS retained a few games that catered to them like AC, Tomodachi Life and even big hitters like Pokemon appeals to them but the Wii U practically flushed all games aimed at them down the drain in favour of an approach more geared to the so called core group and it resulted in another GC show.

Think of this if NX is a hybrid platform Pokemon NX alone would bring in possibly more sales then Wii U has in total right now, AC NX could bring in a total of half the amount of sales Wii U has now because these titles have far wider appeal. He's right in that you as a hardcore fan would either get NX in the long run or be replaced by 5 or so other gamers if they had stuck to catering to everyone.

if this is true why isnt 3ds doing DS or even Wii numbers? why did the 3ds version of say, Nintendogs not do anywhere near the numbers of the DS one?
