You are saying that "in their wisdom they rejected motion controls in favor of the Wii U gamepad".  Not a great explanation.

No, just saying that they felt that some games just didn't profit from motion controls.

And hey, the Wiimotes work with the Wii U, so certainly they didn't reject them in favor of the gamepad. And they are still not rejecting motion controls, just look at the joycons

It's true that some games don't profit from motion controls, but they basically dropped it as the focus.  On the Wii, motion controls were the focus.  The Wii U should have launched with a "Wii U Sports Resort" game.  That would have shown that they are still trying to keep all the customers that liked Wii Sports.  They abandoned the Wii Sports line of games, and it was obviously a very profitable franchise.

The reason you "don't buy it" is that you don't understand Nintendo.  I mean you say they have always been an "ADHD company".  If that's how you see them, then you are going to reject any reasonable explanation in favor of saying, "I think Nintendo sucks just because."

Okay, so I don't understand Nintendo, despite the fact that you pulled your whole "their first party developers hated making Wii games" argument out of your ass. Second, I'm basing this on Nintendo's ACTIONS over the years. It's hard to argue looking at what Nintendo has done over each generation that they change their focus on a more constant basis than the other two. I even gave an example. Nintendo went with a split controller with motion for a 7th gen console, then dumped it for a tablet controller in its successor, now they're back to the split controller concept for their current system. Or how about Miiverse, despite all the hype and buzz it got among Nintendo and its fans, they abandoned that shit as soon as we got to the Switch. 

Your very post shows that you don't understand Nintendo.  You seem to think that there have only been 2 console makers other than Nintendo.  Also you only mention the home console market.  Your very post shows you don't understand the video game market.

If you know what you were talking about then would also be comparing them to companies like Sega, NEC, Atari, etc....  You might also examine the handheld market.  You seem to think the video game market started in generation 6 and only includes the home console market.  That's why I think you don't know what you're talking about.  To an ignorant person, a reasonable explanation sounds like bullshit.  You called my post bullshit, because you are ignorant.  You need to do your homework.

It's like this, a first grader just learns 2+2=4, and then they heard someone talking about derivatives.  To the first grader this sounds like made up bullshit, but the truth is that they don't know anything.  My post sounds like made up bullshit to you, because you hardly know anything.
