Nintendo's biggest fuck up with the Wii was not making it HD or on par with the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Had it been on par with the other consoles or at least just HD imagine how much third party support it would have got, the console had a 100 million install base, I don't see how any third party could pass on that.
That's why by the end of the Wii's life cycle there was almost nothing releasing for it anymore, where as the PS3 and Xbox 360 were still getting a shit ton of games.
So Nintendo basically cut the Wii's life even shorter than it should have been because of the power gap.
It was such wasted opportunity. It could have been a time for third party games to actually start selling well on Nintendo consoles, (I'm not saying third party games don't sell at all on Nintendo consoles, but a lot of them seem to bomb), and for them to really improve relations with them and in turn they would have learned HD development last generation instead of barely this generation.
