I totally agree... this opened my eye... will change my prediction of WiiU sales to 100M

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

why would anyone count nintendo out... something happening im not familiar with ?

I personally count Nintendo out of the home console race for the same reason I count Sony out of the handheld race. In fact, based solely on sales numbers, I have more reason to count out Wii U than I do Vita.

How so, exactly?

Their originality, their quirkness, the polish of their games, their approach to what makes a game fun and the different perspectives they integrate in the games they make, the counterbalance to Sony's and Microsoft's seriousness and heavyhandedness at times. 


People who don't play Nintendo would lose how?

Nintendo should go third party. Its hard for me to say that since im a huge nintendo fan but i think they cant compete anymore and should go third party.


I agree if the next console is a dud. But since Nintendo still has $4 billion on the bank, I would like to continue purchasing Nintendo console if great games still release for it.

But I can see how others have outgrown Nintendo, are upset Wii U owners, and are ready to move to other systems.


Nintendo could release only a HH and sell great games there. But yep I agree they'll try another console.

But its not the same as console games. I would prefer getting a consoel mario and zelda than a ahndheld because they have more quality imo.
