oh lol. Sorry for not readig every thread. Like i said. One of rolls worst ever. 

In a less extreme situation, I believe that would apply. However, the shift to 3DS and overall lack of major Wii releases in 2011 suggested that Wii was on its last legs and would soon be replaced.

Of course they're not.  3rd party companies have bias against Nintendo and don't put the games on their systems.

This, and I would add something else.

The narcisistic view of Nintendo that their way is the only way and not caring what the market and competitors do. One of the biggest setbacks is the online services that aren't anywhere remotely close to Live and Playstation +

Maybe to the die hard fans it's a good thing to have such and old school type of approach to gaming as a purely videogame console in terms of hardware with negligible online instead of a more broad look into a multimedia hub with more appeal to the consumer. The fact they were still using 'friends code' until very recently feels as if they tried using a password scheme to load a level instead of using save states. It's this way of doing business that makes Nintendo feel the 'other' one in gaming.

So like it was said, had the Wii U specs been buffed up a bit more in a similar architecture as the other 2 competitors, there would absolutely be basically the same 3rd party support that MS and Sony get.

So, it's time to decide, if you're a Nintendo supporter. What do you want? Nintendo to finally recognize they have to adhere to the standard in hardware specs and save their creativity for the games, or keep betting on the 'look at me, i'm different' and lose the 3rd party support? Unless the Playstation and Xbox brands decide to leave the industry they can't have both.

Nintendo has made many mistakes too...

Nintendo made it hard for companies to make versions for all consoles of a generation. PS3 and X360 got almost all of the 3rd Party games because they had comparable power. Porting these games to the Wii would have been expensive.

Nintendo made the WiiMote the standard controller. This also made porting games more expensive... The Balance Board showed that optional controller can sell well... The WiiMote could have been an optional controller.

The Wii U has made exactly the same mistakes... So not developing a Wii U version can be seen as a plausible decision. Nintendo made it difficult to port for the Wii on purpose and now the sales figures are not to convincing too.

Will read the OP, but I am going in wondering if this is another thread of how Nintendo does no wrong and it is all the 3rd party devs fault.

3rd parties aren't biased against Nintendo, they're biased towards the industry the way they see it. If Nintendo will support their views, they'll support Nintendo... on its ultimate way to self-destruction.

I am not saying this is good for consumers. But is it really bad for consumers? I mean If I buy the game for 60 bucks and everyone else also has to pay 60 even 2 years later its actualyl GOOD for me not Bad. For people that want something but dont want to pay the price  its obviously not so good but those are obviously not long-time-nintendo gamers  because those understand how Nintendo pricing works.

So if keeping the prices high is bad for consumers then starting with a 60 price tag is actually even worse.
I would love to have cheaper games like $30€ but it seems thats not going to happen. When I know the games wont get cheap for a while and I decide to buy them I DO NOT WANT them to get cheaper anytime soon otherwhise I feel bad. Imho you should not penalize early adopters by reducing the price to fast. Just look at how alot of X1 owners cried just because the X1 became cheaper. Its the same. People do not like to pay more than others for the same thing and thats pretty understandable because its unfair.

I am critisizing the stupid industry for thinking that only 3 months count  because THEY drop the price and so in THEIR opinion  half price sales dont count.   Nintendo does not really reduce the price because they dont need to and people are  obviously fine with that. Also alot of people argue that NIntendo games have better value. I mean why do you think so many people including me want games to drop in price? Because we know its going to happen sooner than later. I buy Nintendo games day 1 (Wiiu not anymore because 60 is to expensive)  because I know they dont and if they start to do it I will stop buying them for the launch price. Its that simple.

Noone but the third parties decide that their games are appereantly not good enough to cost 60 bucks anymore so they drop the price.  But the problem Is why do they do that? Make it 30 bucks instead of 60 and keep the price forever if its a good game it will still sell especially when people understand that your games will not drop in price anymore.

As said before I myself stopped buying Nintendo home console games day1 because they went from 50 to 60 with WiiU.  Only some very very special games are worth that much money.  Stuff like the SkywardSword collectors edition that came with Soundtrack and Wiimote was. But a "generic" game that is like 20 other games made by other companies is def not worth 60 bucks especially when it lacks polish and has day1 DLC etc....

I am not buying games day1 because I see no point in doing that. I will probably play that game next year because my backlog is so huge. But with Nintendo it does not make a difference because if I buy it today or in 2 years it will be launch price  so why not buy it today? I can at least occasionally play it and wont feel robbed.

If third parties decide to drop the price so quick its their own fault. They show me that they dont have trust in their own product so they wont see my money untill the game price stabilized and is cheap. (I even get "angry"/"sad" when I buy a discounted game for $5€ and 1 week later its $4€. I just dont like the feeling of "wasting" a dollar.  I mean I had no problem with buying LegoCityUndercover  and I am still fine with that price because the price is still high.

Lets say I see a game like The Last of Us for 20bucks as a special deal but I missed it I will never pay more than 20 bucks for that game no matter how good it is because I think "if others get it for 20 why should I pay more? I will not do that"  and so I wait for a price drop even if it takes years.  This is how I work.
