I have no beef with Nintendo, but it's clear they have gone astray. I think their problem was actually the Wii, because it showed them they could make it with gimmicks. But these things are usually like lightning in a bottle. Much like the pokemon go thing. They can't be replicated.

Now added to that is the way they supported or not the Wii U. I think the mismanagement and undermining of their own console system is what ultimately will lead to a very steep road back up. Customer trust was lost with the Wii U. Few and far between games with the loom of a new system way before it was ready for reveal killed the trust many of us had on Nintendo. Sega didn't recover from that, but Nintendo still has the portable market.
So, the recent rumors about the NX beeing more portable than console are actually good, assuming a good price point. In the home console front there is no going back, i don't think.
