This is not good at all. I was going to buy a WiiU tomorrow, since I am traveling to a big city today, but this changes everything =/

Mobile. That's what I think it means. Also, the next console may be a hybrid, but that's not for a while.

In all reality only good things can come up from this mess. Sometimes people needs a reality-check, Iwata is a person too, he can make mistakes but seems like atlast he is willing to change what wasn't working. This is a blessing for Nintendo fans to be honest.

Well I for one will have my eyes pinned on Nintendo's IR page on January 30th to see what comes of all this.

I didn't want to think so but Nintendo is in serious trouble. Even with the lucrative handheld market, it's not doing enough to keep Nintendo out of the loss column.

I hope its not a business where its normal to think 1 mario game can outsell the competition with lots of third party content.

Today is a strange day, isn´t it?...it feels like in the future, one might perhaps refer to "Nintendo pre January 17 2014" and "Nintendo post January 17 2014".

Really wonder what´ll come out of this.

fucking finally

Given how things are going.  Ninty is the safest bet to drop hardware and go 3rd party of the 3.  Their greatest success for the past decades has been software, might as well let some one else waste billions on hardware.

they can still keep making handhelds.

Really hope they don't just put their games on smartphones.
If that happens, I'll probably have another mental breakdown.
