You're just looking at overall loss, not the context of it and then making statements as weird as the Wii U ate up all the 3DS revenue, which is not the case.
Nintendo would go third party.
How many times can they try though? Sega tried twice.
So more gimmicks?
I was thinking the same thing. They wouldn't have to rely solely on their hardware business.
I think we should wait and see what the NX is and how Nintendo pitches it to the consumer in 2016.
No exactly the opposite, im looking at the divsions. Your mindset of excluding like the R&D of wii u shows that you cant comprehend it. Why would one exclude r&D for the console lol
It is the case, if you like it or not
whatever think want you want
I like how GAF always thinks Nintendo is rollin in money lol
If NX fails, they going 3rd party and I can't wait to play Zelda on Neo or PS5.
Sega was bleeding money, was rife of infighting between the Japanese and US branch and had strings of hardware/Add on flops that eroded consumers, retailers, developers and publishers' trust.
I was joking about how people say this kind of stuff since more than 20 years now.
They're not "on the edge of doom", as much as some are hoping for it.
Nintendo could make a console more powerful than Scorpio and Neo combined and they would still be shunned by 3rd parties. The idea that 3rd parties are held back by Nintendo's power is simply a myth. Look at DS - woefully underpowered, unconventional layout that made simple ports impossible, and it had the best 3rd party support of maybe any Nintendo system.
3rd parties simply don't like working with Nintendo. Ninteno has to carry their own weight or go 3rd party themselves.
Yeah. They're making mobile games, theme park and many other stuff. It looks like they're diversifying and looking for ways to bring their IPs to more people than they previously did.
I think the whole "gen 8.5" thing both Sony and MS are doing caught them off guard. They were probably expecting to release a console in between the PS4 and the X1 in terms of performance for a low price, which should have kept them with a "good enough" console for 2-4 years.
After the leaks and announcements, they are probably paying quite a lot of attention to the market. They've already done similar stuff in the past in the handheld market (DSi and New 3DS say hi) and will probably embrace a similar model if the PS4K does well.
The mid-gen upgrade could be an effective route for Nintendo. They are the most "family friendly" hardware maker. Having a wider range of devices to target different kind of families with their homeconsoles could work well for them.

Although console gaming is as thriving as back in the day, that doesn't mean consoles are going away.
It's still an insanely big industry, and as long as people who want to immerse themselves in videogames, consoles and PC gaming will continue to exist.
We might be in a paradigm shift with the upcoming VR options, the next step will probably be to have VR sets with neural transmitter making muscles twitch etc. when in contact in the actual game.
I predict right now though, that seniors in the future will be the only people still using an actual controller.
Yes, looks like if you make a thread with the words: Nintendo, Bad or flop is an secure success.Saw this thread last decade.

go multi plat is their only path, and people need to stop comparing with Sega, Nintendo market is 1000% better than Sega.

Übermatik;207890322 said:I HOPE and PRAY that IF it flops, they take a damn good step back and reevaluate the console market. They need to take their time and really invest in a competitive system, whilst maintaining that Nintendo IP edge. I think the Wii U (and perhaps now, the NX) were rushed in an effort to pick up the slack. If NX flops, they need to cut their losses and maybe even wait it out to gauge the competition. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony and Microsoft knew of the NX and quickly assembled the Neo/Scorpio to directly outclass it. Next time around, Nintendo need to wait for their signal, not the other way around. They have the capital to build a really impressive machine and re-capture the market.
I hope and pray that they've already done what you mentioned in your first sentence. I think the Wii-U should have been proof to them that just releasing a mid-gen console won't work. The NX definitely needs a strong argument for why it exists, the Wii-U reveal didn't even make it clear that there was a new console.
You can quote me on this: NX will be another Wii U.
There is literally zero reason to think Nintendo has changed their tune.
I'll predict that this quoting will already happen in this thread, starting with this post.You can quote me on this: NX will be another Wii U.

6TF at the end of 2017. "Monster"
3rd parties typically make games for the market leader first (in the case of consoles, Sony and MS, in the case of handhelds, Nintendo), and port to the remainder of hardware on a level playing field. So this theory doesn't really work.
Also, you just disproved this argument spectacularly with your above statement.
I think they need a Wiimote-style gimmick to not flop. Sounds like they're not going to beat out Microsoft and Sony on horsepower.
I would like for Virtual Console to be an application on my desktop.
If Ubisoft's words are anything to go by, it most definitely will not compete with Xbox and PlayStation. They'll be addressing the family market. I think that's a good thing since Sony and Microsoft aren't picking up the slack in that regard.
