Wii U has and will continue to cost them financially, GET OVER IT!

FFS Nintendo fans why are you being so defensive over this. The fact is they will have lost money on the Wii U by the end of the gen. Any profit made by the 3DS is sucked up by the sinking Wii U.

Literally nothing bad is said to Nintendo fans and you still act like everybody picks on you. Even the dumb pro-Nintendo comments are protected by Nintendo fans and nobody is allowed to question it.

Barkley makes a point, at least entertain the thought that Nintendo might drop home consoles in favour on going more software based and without the high risk of having to make hardware. Most people aren't talking about Ninty dropping hardware straight away but over the long term, like NX could be their last home console and Nintendo makes the transition over, let's say, 10 years. Also people that predict this AREN'T against Nintendo. I don't even think many people on here hate Nintendo.

It depends where Nintendo see their future and it could be mobile, software and handheld. That their strongest position right now. NX could be the tester to see if home console hardware is still a profitable avenue for them, it could be a success and they continue to make home consoles.

There is an healthy discussion to be had here but this defensive attitude doesn't help. Nobody is against Nintendo.

Yup. That's why they should have killed sooner. Wii U is not helping them, in fact it was just a ball of problems, starting with the irrelevant presence of the company in the homeconsole market.

I mean, even NX was better in that topic. An unreleased console vs an already released 3-4 years console. Pathetic.

 

At least Pokemon Go and BotW is helping on Nintendo awareness this time.

Dont forget NES Mini. :)
