Yeah if only they had just issued a financial result in the red due to lots of R&D costs. OH wait...

Yes, but those costs would have had to show up about a year before they did, is what he's saying.

In the day an age where consoles are just PC's, they could get this through if they needed too, and they certainly need to do something quickly.

And what would that accomplish? 

Even if they came out with a new, powerfull console, how much better do you thing things would go? Wii U owners would be furious, myself included, and everyone else would still buy the other consoles becuase it's Nintendo. 

It's not waving the white flag, it is called underestimating/realistic predictions. Last year they overestimated sales which caused so much disappointment to investors and to themselves.

But is that the kind of console Nintendo should be making? Whenever they try to make me too consoles, that's when they really get their asses handed to them.

Give the industry the finger that the industry has so resoundingly given them. Go their own way.

Good, now maybe in 2016 or 2017 Nintendo can release a console that is up to par with PSOne at a price tag of $199. I'd buy it.

I don't see the problem.. (yes kind of grey zone.. but still perfectly legal)

Nintendo whent out public, and told about the share program. And based on curent trends, this is the way it goes.. Even if Nintendo hope for more and have fait in new things/games..  the estimate should still respond to current sales.. imo

And Nintendo fans like me. thinks it's good when controll (and a big rise in "Nintendo vault".. whitout we have to pay) goes back to nintendo

If they lowball their estimates of their expected yearly sales when they are likely to get higher than that in order to decrease their own share cost then they knowingly lied to investors to further their own goals.  I don't see how that couldn't be illegal assuming it could be proven.  But just because you can't prove someone did something illegal does not mean that what they did was legal.  

Wiiu I'd in trouble and isn't a good investment

it's predecessor wasn't any different, the sales in the front page dud nothing fir it, it's software support was cut years before Wiiu came out and I'd now a dead console

Wiiu will also die off as Nintendo just don't get it

I say what I said all along, ditch gamepad its rubbish anyway, smartphones and tablets have 1000 times mote responsive screens

sell gamepad as extra and bundle pro controller along with nsmbu and nsmlu with console as cheap as they can £129.99 and it will be a hit

Nintendo has to realise gamepad is nit wanted

even a Wiiu with pro controller along with wiimote/nunchuck albeit wired with s demo disc for £129.99 would be great news
