It's really sad to see them screwing up so badly, but as lomg as the 3DS keeps making them money, there's still time for them to save their console division. As much as I hate what they're doing business wise, I really want to own a Nintendo console again.

Another missed opportunity :(

Although in parts I agree with you in other aspects of your post is just as clueless as Nintendo. Everyone else's home console is in demand and vastly outselling Nintendo's. That's the reality. That's the fact. 

Whats the point of "being the only one doing what they do right now" if no one gives a shit and don't buy the console? How do you make money?

The whole idea is to promote the wii u and create sales. Donkey kong is not going to sell consoles, nor is it going to entice anyone watching VGX to buy one. In all honesty it probably did the opposite.

That presentation was better shown on Nintendo Direct. It was horrible. The way the presenter just look blankly at Reggie and asked "is that it? Nothing else" sums it up. It was the wrong clothes at the wrong event. Something in Reggie's attitude makes me think he knows this.

Negativity surrounding the wii u is part of the reason it's sales are so poor. I am not saying this presentation did the wii u any harm but I don't see how it could have done it any good.

Great to see Nintendo fans saying what they think instead of blindly following and never condemning the company like others do.

So are you saying instead that more Nintendo fans should jump on the negativity train and condem the system before barely any of it's big hitter titles have even released, like all OTHER forum trolls that prowl the internets? Just curious.

And quite frankly, while there is certainly an argument to be made for them showing something more substantial at VGX, on the other hand, considering that DKCR made more noise on the internet and Twitter than just about anything else they showed off, maybe it wasn't that stupid of a move after all?

MS and Sony didn't show anything new at VGX either. The show was a joke and every one of the big three knew it.

I find it quite obvious that the only reason Nintendo was there, was because Spike wanted them to be there. Geoff kept on hyping that it was going to be a World Premiere and something very special, while he probably knew that it was going to be Donkey Kong. The schedule itself said that Nintendo was going to play a demo of a game, which rules out most other games.
Spike must have asked Nintendo last minute and then started to hype it up, in order to get Nintendo fans to view their show, and Nintendo just did what they could do in such short notice, which is showing a soon to release game.
The fact that everyone seemed to be hinting at Zelda probably got a lot of people excited, which probably led to an increase in the audience, so in other words, Spike's plan worked.
Next to that, Nintendo got a lot of time to talk about their already shown game, while other devs got quite little airtime to talk about their games. This kind of shows that Spike did everything they could to get Nintendo on their show (in my opinion).

Nintendo always tries to please only the Nintendo fans and never try to bring something new that makes others interesting and this is the only reason i don't like Nintendo. They never try something new in IP's/matured for core audience but they try to be innovative in same old games which is good only for the fans.

That was my take from this also.

Nintendo probably figuered that they needed to mantain a 'decent' media relation with Spike so gave them something to ablige them. Nothing major, but probably big enough so Spike wouldn't complain much.

That's not how comparisons work, you can't just chose 3 points that support your claim and ignore the rest.

The Wii U has had a terrible year, there's no denying that, but sales have been increasing over the last 6 - 8 weeks since they actually started releasing games. Black Friday sales were at 274k . Christmas period usually has 2 week with even higher sales, especially Nintendo consoles. Bringing the total Wii U's sold to an easy 5 million by the end of this year, though I expect one more bundle for Christmas which could itch it closer to 5.5 million.

Starting next year we have Wii Fit U and DKCR:TF and later Mario Kart and Smash Bros, both of which have seen an increase in sales every generation, except for an outing on gamecube by Mario Kart. Yoshi's Yarn and X are also still listed as a 2014 release.

Do you honestly believe that it will not be able to sell more in its second year?
