Ok, if nintendos demons as i mentioned arent still hurting them, so what happened with the WiiU? you  can't just take one success over 4 attempts as the basis of your entire argument in an attempt to dismiss the "fact" that since the ninties nintendo has made some massive errors. 

- They did stab sony in thr back and sided with philips without even telling sony, which led to the playstation today. Thats a fact.

- they had a draconian approach to third parties with the Nes and Snes, which for the most part has left them all bitter towards nintendo till this day. Another fact.

- they opted to use catridges for the N64, which meant nintendo staples like Metal gear and Final fantasy simply couldn't be made on the more powerful N64, basically handing that generation over to sony. Another fact.

- they keep skimping out on hardware, last competent machine they built was the gamecube. Forcing them to rely on things like motion controls or tablet controllers to distinguish their platform. And if the rumors of the NX are true, they are still about to do that. Also a fact.

- support on their console is so limited that they basically get around 2-3 good games a year. Compared to at least 10-15 good games on other platforms a year (even if they are multiplat you still can't play them on a ninty console)

what about all i habe said isnt true? and you think because of the success the wii was that makes everything ok? Just look at the WiiU, they couldnt even break 20M in 4yrs. Thats the worst selling nintendo platform ever, and right on the heels of the wii..... and you don't still think there is a problem? I mean, nintendo were the market leaders last year, they have the dame access to AMD that sony and MS has. Yet they made a wiiU?????

I fail to see how the failure of Wii U is a direct result of something that happened in the early-mid 90's. The things you are saying are facts but that doesn't automatically make them relevent points.

Sony developed PS4 to the taste of the developers, Nintendo developed the WiiU for themselves... that is one of the points that still hunt them since NES
