Sounds like Sony would be closer to that than Nintendo tbh.

Sony closer to being obsolete as a hardware manufacturer than Nintendo? Have you not seen PS4 sales?

Sales don't equal profit.



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

I do find it somewhat telling that even Nintendo themselves say that the only incentive to upgrade from a Wii to a Wii U is the games. Pretty sure Sony or Microsoft execs would say there are many more reasons than just games to upgrade to their latest consoles. It's like Nintendo are admitting that the only thing they do well is make games. If that's the case, then maybe that's all you should do. Just a thought.


What do you buy a gaming console for, lol.


For games, natch. Problem is, while Nintendo makes the best games, their crap hardware means that they're the only ones making games for the Wii U. It means that there's a whole world of other games that don't come to the Wii U. It's kind of hard to convince people to drop 300 bones on what has essentially become a Nintendo machine.

Being profitable doesn't equal being relevant.

Which is not the case for any of the 3 as of right now.

Being irrelevant.

as hardware manufacturer, and they are ok with that!

In the past software and hardware both were profitable, unfortunately due to increasing competition not only from microsoft and sony but pcs and handheld devices in general the profits on hardware are plummeting.

Secondly Nintendo lost focus on whats it all about: games and not going whiblywhobly with a controller

it's simple they are gonna make their biggest draw back also their greatest strength

open up the audience from ten million tho billions.

play smash bros on your tablet, you got it!

Play your pokemon MMO on PC done deal!




Not this again
No, they won't become irrelevant

Edit: and they haven't lost focus on the games, they still make some of the best games of the industry and make a lot of money from selling them at full price.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
