While I enjoy Nintendo's first party just as much as the other guy, to say that the other brands have nothing to offer is a little absurd. Even the most loyal Xbox/PS fans will tell you there are a few games coming out of the other camp that they'd love to have on their preferred console. I suppose you're entitled to your opinion and maybe you're not into the cinematic experience but even so, there are still games such as Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Sunset Overdrive, the Tales of series, Kingdom Hearts etc.

Going back on topic, I saw a few posts saying that advertising wasn't needed. That I find to be a laughable comment. You're telling me that in North America (Can't speak for other regions but I'd guess Europe too), where you still have people who think the Wii U is just a gamepad addon to the OG Wii, isn't needed?

I'd like to think a big part of why Pokemon games and Mario Kart do so well is because they were actually advertised, both at retailers and on TV. Where as games like Wonderful 101, which I rather enjoyed, get no attention whatsoever because their budget simply isn't big enough to support advertising leaving the game in limbo. I'm not saying the Wii U could compete with advertising but it would raise awareness to the brand. At the end of the day, the saying is true. One must be willing to spend money, even lose money, in order to make a profit. Playing it safe never got anyone anywhere, Nintendo needs to remember how rutheless they were when they battled Sega for console suppremacy.

The final thing I want to add is this. Nintendo has already established that they are the handheld king and that title isn't going anywhere, so maybe it's time to focus a little less on the 3DS and put some of those games on the Wii U? Majora's Mask, Luigi's Mansion and a few other titles could have easily found their way to the Wii U to make the library have a little more fluff so to speak. I'm not saying put everything on the Wii U but you can't deny that the 3DS seems to get way more first party attention through out the year, needs to be a little more even if you ask me.

So I have two questions:

1) Why are more people buying PS4 and XB1?

2) What do you think Nintendo could do to turn this thing around?

[...]

1.2) Why they are buying PS4/XBone at all

They completely go crazy for even minor graphic updates (of course there are exceptions) and so rather buy a new console to have a bit better graphics than stick to PS360 for the same games with a bit worse graphics.  They are following marketing and hype about insanely powerful hardware even though the games (see the sentence before) mainly are looking only slightly better.

To be honest I do not not why people are buying a new console for games, which they can also play on their old console. It has to do something with slightly improved graphics. Maybe they think the old console is so old, it only can do bad graphics right now, so i better buy a new one.

I agree with you on that one but the average consumer does not know that.

no the average consumer doenst BELIEVE that. Big difference. Nintendo has the highest quality isnt truth its a opinion no amount of posting is going to make it true. The numbers prove that.

rachet is fine, sly is okay too, but both arent masterpieces. sunset overdrive isnt a exclusiv and kingdom hearts just isnt a good series at all( played all because i love disney and FF, but thats all the games have realy to offer).   an im glad u didnt talked about halo. the only big xbox series realy sucks, gunplay is meh, gameplay is okay at max, mapdesign is shit, story is lame, skillcap is way to low, online is okay.

its better than cod, but allmost every fps is. 

i dont realy understand how u can love xbox. its nothing special, just a soulless console to play multiplats and halo.
