GB/Wii/DS/3DS also are clear fact that "demons doenst haunting them till this day", just last gen they had most successful generation in history of gaming, you cant clearly make that if demons of past hunt you. :)

Wii U had series of Nintendo made mistakes, it was bloody mess (revealing, marketing, naming, pricing, game pad, launch titles..), Nintendo itself said after Wii succes they were to relax with Wii U, they thought it will sell event huge mistake they made, also there is fact that they were saving 3DS in some time when they needed to prepare Wii U launch, there is reason why Wii U is worst selling Nintendo console and that doesnt have with "demons of the past".

If you look history of Nintendo hardware, they have hits and misses, that's how they operate, if they have mass appealing product they have good sales, if they dont sales are low, evre new console and new generation is totaly difrent story from previous one, doesn't have anything with "demons of pasts".

GB/DS/3DS...... arent those handhelds? Why don't you make a lost of their home consoles since the SNES. N64/GC/Wii/WiiU. By nintendo standsrds all tjose were failures compared to the SNES in the ssme wsy the PS3 was a failure comoared to the PS1/PS2. 

Hits and misses? thats how they operate? are you kidding me? You make it sound like they invest billions into something with the underlying plan of "eell our last release was a success . Lets fail this time".

And no, if you look at nintendo history you will see there are business practicies that nintendi has always had that they either still carry till this day or have affected how they do business today. What i find puzzling is that you are old enoigh to know first hand everything that has happened with nintendo. But you are choowing to jist not see or admit it. 

Well i owned a NES and then a SNES and a N64. or at least my brother owmed that one. I was there and i remember what happened. 

Yes, they are handhelds, so what!? Handhelds are huge part of every Nintendo generation and they have huge effect on Nintendo decisions. I dont see how Wii can be failure compared to SNES.

Of Course not, but they risking with different and new approach and that strategy is usually hits and misses, they definitely not saying "now we will make a miss with this console" lol.

I am very aware of history of Nintendo and I am very well informed about everything regardless Nintendo.
