You know, this is the kind of comments I wish Nintendo reads. If they really care about the consumers and are so pro-consumers as some of the fans claims, I'd like to hear an explanation for all of those that feel dissapointed by their latest moves and how are those moves still pro-consumers.

He said he loved Gamecube but not Wii, im not sure if Nintendo should be listening to people who want them to go back to a console that sold poorly even though it only cost $99 for over half its life.

Well I mean yes the Wii sold red hot for a few years, but was that really a sustainable ecosystem? The end results say no. Eventually all those casuals got tired of flailing their arms around and realized they were still 50 pounds overweight despite using Wii Fit once a week and decided to move on to the next fad.

As a Nintendo fan, the Wii brought precious little in terms of actual improvement to the Nintendo situation. Games like Mario Galaxy would've been just as good if not better on a HD "GameCube 2", we didn't get any better third party support, all we got was a flood of cheap, crappy casual game fare like Carnival Games and horrificly "casualized" Wii titles like Soul Calibur Legends and light gun shooters.

Nintendo never bothered to spend any of that Wii profit on expanding new studios or buying different exclusives or anything like that, Nintendo fans ended up basically just paying 2.5x the price of a GameCube for basically the same hardware moderately overclocked with a new controller.
