They also get major bonus points for being ambitious, unlike recent Nintendo games.
While you continue on childishly looking at Nintendo and the way in which they conduct business(for better or worse), I on the other hand will carry on enjoying all the incredible games they continue to make.Give them time.
With their current console turnover rate, say, until 2020?
Until then, Nintendo doesn't have to entertain the notion of bankrutcy... but it shall serve to entertain me.
They have to aim to be the secondary console that everyone wants to own.
Give them time.

That's what took them down. If you pretend we live in a dimension where Wii never happened, Nintendo has been known for 20 years as the company whose home platforms you pair to your main generational machine.
The "settle for" mentality, both for graphics and third parties, is what damaged them in the long run. It's all based on the drawing power of your IPs, cheeky betting.
They can't.
And after the N3DS debacle in America, I'll shed zero tears, in the event of their inevitable bankruptcy.
Quality of Life, my ass.
Quality of Dead to Me, more like.
Give them time.

It depends on what you like. For example, I don't play Nintendo games, so there are lots of developers whose products I prefer.Name another publisher/developer pumping out quality games like nintendo does. There is not one company that is close.
That is a possible option, but I'm not sure it's a very good one. If Nintendo wants to make any headway with a non-competitive console, they're probably going to have to price it at a decently steep cost below BOM. Nintendo literally does not have moves that aren't fraught with risk.They have to aim to be the secondary console that everyone wants to own. Everyone who owns a PS4, PC, XOne, should feel the need to own the next console of Nintendo too.
If they manage that, sales will explode.
And ditch thw gimmicks, focus on software, services, ammibo and full VC
I don't really consider ND to be all that ambitious.
what
Hi, we're the console with the same graphics as the strongest competing unit, we have all of their third parties. And, we happen to have Mario and Zelda, we're not "the console with Mario and Zelda and maybe a few third party AAA ports every now and then".
At this point, it's pretty much impossible for Nintendo to get back on top unless they strike lightning in a bottle again. The hardcore console crowd is sticking to Playstation and Xbox and I don't see them switching over to Nintendo anytime soon. Casuals prefer to game on smartphones and tablets for free, so unless Nintendo has another control method that will win them over, they'll stick with those games. Alongside Nintendo's stigma as a kid-friendly, family oriented company, third parties won't ever take a Nintendo console seriously and continue to leave their big titles on other platforms.
Nintendo is stuck in a situation where they simply can't win. Every profitable audience has left Nintendo behind, leaving only the hardcore fanbase with them. Unless Nintendo is willing to go the extra mile and transform themselves into something that is the complete opposite of their current selves, the only possible paths for them is to either continue what they're doing and hope for the best, or sell their assets to a bigger company.
But hey, the last 30 years have seen many unexpected things happen in the industry. Maybe Nintendo does find a way to turn things around.
Nintendo doesn't need to win over the casuals and Miyamoto recently said that Nintendo is done with that market. How about Nintendo improving and making better what is currently the standard control scheme for the last 15 years since the early PS2 days?
Nintendo could come out with a controller that ditches the dual analog approach but still appeal to the core gamer if they prove the new method actually works better and will give them an advantage over the former. They also don't necessarily need to have the next console have "Wii like" sales either, a strong steady selling console will be good enough.
Until then, Nintendo doesn't have to entertain the notion of bankrutcy... but it shall serve to entertain me.
The changing the controller for changes sake thing really turns me off though. I love the dualshock standard at this point, Nintendo controllers since the N64 have always felt weird. I LOATHED the wiimote. I can kind of respect trying weird things but at the end of the day I want a controller to feel comfortable to me, and nothing brings more comfort than 20 years of experience with it
I had a long thing I was going to write up, but it's taking too much time.
Short version: Make a console comparable in power to PS4. It should be better at some things, if not all. Negative publicity focusing on Wii U's horsepower hurt its image immensely in the U.S. along w/ the spotty ports at launch. Budget the TDP at 100 watts and have the "gimmick" be inexpensive (like the Wii remotes accelerometers and unlike the Gamepad). 16nm process node and they should be good to compete.
New marketing campaign. Stick with the all ages approach, but ditch the focus on families. Just show a little something for everyone in the commercials.
The console itself should look slick and unlike the Wii/Wii U.
Price it at $300, since in 2016/2017, this is around where Sony/MS should be with their consoles.
Speedy OS: Do what it takes to address this--faster RAM, faster CPU, SSD. Whatever. Make it like night and day compared to Wii U and they'll get some positive press.
Continuously improve the OS/network. They're not going to get it perfect out of the gate, but there's no reason they can't keep adding more and more features. With one OS to focus on, more updates should hopefully be possible.
Launch w/ a 3D Mario that has WOW factor.
Gain some exclusive DLC in a few big 3rd party titles. And make it cool. Not just Mario/Samus outfits. More like Link in Soul Calibur II or some exclusive Nintendo/non-Nintendo themed levels/campaigns.
Promote the hell out of the indie games and have most of them crossbuy/crossplay on handheld/home console.
Nail the Digital deluxe/Club Nintendo successor program. Make it worth our while, with good discounts to loyal customers. Of course, continue w/ regular eShop sales as well and make them a bit more enticing.
Nail the cell phone app. A Mii Maker in 2015 is not going to make waves. It worries me that this is Iwata's grand debut in the mobile space.
Here in Italy we're already seeing deals like that (in euro obviously) for both consoles, it wouldn't surprise me the slightest if PS4 and/or XB1 would be available for 200/250ish by then.Price it at $300, since in 2016/2017, this is around where Sony/MS should be with their consoles.
They can't!
Unless they get Google or Apple to finance them.
Buy Sony.
What a stupid post!
Release a new, powerful console that has the initials 'PS4' or 'PS5'
- F*ck 3rd parties. Make it a Nintendo-only (1st and 2nd) console.
- Give it a unified OS so it can play 4DS games as well.
- Don't focus on power. Focus on a good experience (no 8GB versions or only use SD cards in Wii mode).
- From the start an "All-You-Can-Play Nintendo VC" service. With *ALL* NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC and GBA games from Nintendo.
- Add GC and DS games to the collection during the lifespan of the console.
- Compagnion services. Pokemon Bank on the iPhone for example.
- Come with new IP's.
- Create more franchise like experiences like they do now with Zelda and Netflix.
Not be a 300$ exclusive machine.
It gets increasingly less stupid with each passing year though... if Sony spins off its entertainment division on its own. Having either company buy each other would make a lot of sense. Sony's strength is Nintendo's weakness and vice-versa can also be said. They would complement each other perfectly and in fact, the original plan with the Playstation was for that to happen.
They should keep doing what they are doing: Don't copy competition and be innovative.
Not every innovation will be accepted from the mainstream gamer. But I don't want to miss Wiimote and Gamepad.
But they must have better marketing and should spend some money for third party games.

They can't really. They'd need an uber exclusive like final fantasy VII remake.
It's NOT Nintendo's fault that 3rd Party Developer are NOT able to develop awesome games for the Nintendo Wii U! Nintendo proved alot that you are able to create awesome games for the Nintendo Wii U, 3rd Party Developer are just putting NO effort into their games and are to lazy and that's why there are no 3rd Party games for the Nintendo Wii U!
Naughty Dog are overrated in my opinion and are not in the same league as Nintendo!
