The only Nintendo games you'll play are none. Because that would require reworking the entire OS just for it to work without a tablet. And People would complain about the infrequency of the OS updates, because they are focusing on eworking the entire OS just for it to work without a tablet.

LOL it already does work without a tablet.

You don't understand what I'm saying, are you? Besides, if they do what you said, a few hundred thousand will buy it, but no profitability. The GameCube was the cheapest in the market, yet still finished last.

No profitability?!  The expensive to make tablet is sucking ALL of the profitability out of that system.  It would cost me less than $150 to build an equivalent PC MYSELF.  This system is woefully underpowered and would costs so little to make besides that tablet.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

I heard that this will be last SSB game?

 Nope.. This might be the last Smash game Sakurai works on, not the last Smash game ever!

I honestly have no idea.. Perhaps he will start developing new IPs? Maybe he will go back to Kirby? I really don't know for sure!

Just stop. You're not convincing anyone.

Ohhh noooo, Smash Bros. sold less than IGN's expectations. Whatever are we going to do?
Seriously, all that matters to me is the fact that I'm getting these amazing games on this amazing console. If people choose to miss out on such engaging experiences, that's on them. Nintendo is fine. They will make a profit off of the Wii U and its software regardless and this will only encourage them to try harder next gen. Why kick someone while they're (perceivably) down?

LOL some people would indeed rather put their head in the sand then learn from new information.

Do you think you could sell that PC and Profit? If you do, you'd be overpricing it.

Nintendo doesn't buy its parts off the shelf.  They get massively reduced prices due to volume of scale.  And yeah I still could.

How about you try controlling a 130 year old electronics company before telling what Nintendo to do then?
