even if the wii u bombs hard and the entire project ends up break even, it may overall have been a better move. we really can't tell this early. Iwata could be a total genius, yet again. for example, the wii. in hindsight, many people thought gamecube was a failure. the gamecube fully prepared Nintendo to enter into the Wii, though. it had all of their developers fully prepared to develop on that hardware and they blew the charts away with their games and steady releases. it was a highly profitable time for Nintendo and a space for growth. if you look at it like this, gamecube historically could've been a very big success. this could be exactly what they're doing with the Wii U for all we know. maybe the Wii U isn't about the Wii U, it's about a future that they see potential in. maybe they think the current console model is doomed. maybe the writing is already on the wall in Japan, where console sales are crumbling. maybe it's all about the next-generation portable device, and even if the wii u doesn't sell good they can directly use their experience with it onto their next-project.
i don't know, but i know it's way too fucking early to write them off. nintendo is the company you look at 10 years in the future and then you can see what they're doing. the last thing they need to be doing though is looking at what other people are doing, especially when everyone else is struggling just as bad or worse then they are even with shitty wii u sales.
