This could blow in their faces if Nintendo ddoes this all wrong, but I doubt this could ever happen...
Sure, the Virtual Boy comes to mind, but that was definetly hardware design flaw and I see the WiiU doesn't have that in any way, shape or form.

This article actually isn't that bad. Good coverage of multiple viewpoints, some of whom were actually correct, none of whom seemed to be out to get Nintendo in particular.

Apple will no doubt steal Nintendo's press exposure but the threat to actual sales comes from cheap Android devices aimed at kids and gamers.

All Nintendo has to do is put the word "Wii" in the title of every game... even the 3rd party ones (Assassin's Creed Wii, Batman Wii, etc).

All 20m sellers confirmed.

After buying these games in droves, people will then realize that they actually need the WiiU to play them and upgrade.

Win, win for Nintendo.

And I doubt that you've seen Jay520's recent thread or you wouldn't have bothered to make a serious response to this post...

I'm just responding to your post hun.. don't get all defensive

Hun? Uh... ok...

I'm not defensive in the least; just surprised. Anybody can see that it wasn't to be taken seriously.

It's t3h g0ld3n ru13 0f d0m3: if there's anything that has an even ridiculously low probability of damaging Nintendo, Ninty is d0m3d.

And not necessarily competing products: for example, an immersion mixer could chop Ninty programmers' fingers --> Ninty is d0m3d.

I agree that there were some good points, I just found the idea of Apple's conference taking away from Nintendo's kind of silly. I mean, it's not like Apple is announcing a new console.

At least Nintendo is not dealing with 2 million Friends Codes being stolen.

Seriously, even when people are making valid points, they are wrapped up in a way to portray Nintendo as being in trouble -- which enrages those who feel that Nintendo is not treated equally to other tech companies.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
