1. Investors want a lot of things, and just because they want it doesn't mean it's a good for Nintendo, Nintendo's customers, or even investors themselves. Some investors simply want to ransack a company for as much as they can, then get out.

2. Fair enough point. But if gamers aren't giving Nintendo enough returns on their investment in games, seeking customers elsewhere makes sense, no? You seem to think Nintendo should seek out the extremely well-served customers on other gaming platforms, but why should health & fitness customers be off the table? They've made Nintendo a lot of money in the past while gamers on HD consoles were busy deriding Nintendo games as old and childish.

3. Giving away free things is a great way to attract people, but it doesn't pay the bills. How on earth is losing more money a solution to Nintendo's problems?

4. Nintendo's gone as far as they can to attract third parties without:

A) Sacrificing the customer relationship (EA's Origin fiasco).

B) Building the same console as everybody else, and thereby foregoing any value-adding differentiation.

C) Simply throwing money at third parties, which is not the way to add value or make money.

All of these options will accelerate Nintendo's irrelevance, not turn things around. All courting third parties has ever gotten Nintendo is compromised values and empty promises. There's not much point in asking a girl out if she already has a ring on.

So who is defending Nintendo now and why? With only some 2-3 games headed for the Wii U this spring, are you still satisfied with your purchase? 

After following the investor's meeting last night I can only say that I'm flabberghasted. I thought Nintendo would have something big down the pipeline but the response to this crisis has been nothing short of a joke.

Nintendo's new strategy hurts the following parties:

1. Investors. Investors want diversity but not like what was announced. They wanted Nintendo to publish software on other devices not start a new health-care business. 

2. Nintendo gamers. The new business model will likely just hurt gamers because it will draw away resources from the gaming divisions to run the health care pillar. No plans to drop the gamepad also hurts gamers who want just a non-gimmicky controller and console. In fact, they announced plans to expand use of the gamepad which seems to cater to very young children instead. I can't think of an adult who enjoys the Skylander/Infinite gimmick. This is bad news for adult Wii U owners. 

3. Non-Nintendo gamers. Everyone else basically. We want to play Nintendo games on our HD console of choice. Some people would probably buy the Wii U if it dropped to that $199 sweet-spot with a pro controller SKU. No new price cuts will definitely turn away potentially new customers. 

4. Third parties. There was no solid strategy presented to attract 3rd parties to the Wii U. 

So who is defending Nintendo now and why? With only some 2-3 games headed for the Wii U this spring, are you still satisfied with your purchase?
