    nintendo makes a lot of money because they sell the consoles at a profit and then sell lots of first party titles

    They are so loaded with franchises that can each individually sell an entire system by themselves that they have a franchise based on their franchises that is so popular it sells people Wii Us

    sadly, i don't think it sold very many wii us

    I used to hate basically everything MS back in the browser war days, but over time (and major improvements to their software) I have come to accept MS office and windows. I like the surface a lot too and even like win mobile, for at least doing something different instead of aping iOS. But I just don't have any positive feelings towards them as a gaming company. Some of my favorite gaming experiences from last gen were on the 360 (FO:NV, Skyrim, Rockband) but I just don't associate them with the 360. Probably because I could have played them on another system if I wanted to. The 360 is the only console I ever owned that I don't have strong associations with though.

    To be honest, it's probably lingering bad feelings towards MS over (1) buying Bungie and killing Myth/the real vision of Halo, (2) them paying lots of money to get Bioware to make console games and (3) Morrowind becoming a crossover hit, leading to Oblivion. Those are three of the events in gaming history that I most wish could be changed, and I'll probably never really like MS as a gaming company because of them.

    but bioware making console games is what led to the objectively superior action and player-skill based combat the modern dragon age and mass effect series have given us

    I'd say "they should be shut down and sold for parts" is pretty harsh for a company that has so much money they could masturbate for 40 years before going broke

    the same kind of risk that gave us the lackluster Wii-U gave us the DS

    I am 99% certain that I will never own a Nintendo system again unless my son wants one when he is older. But I am hopeful he won't.

    I would consider a Nintendo handheld one day, if they made something that was actually a piece of contemporary technology and that looked like it.

    I was considering a WiiU and almost picked up a PS4 before going with nothing. I don't think they were up to doing any interesting sales this weekend.

    i do earnestly think nintendo should get out of the console game, but that's purely speaking as a consumer who wants to buy fewer consoles

    being able to play zelda or smush bruddas on a playstation or xbox or even better, as a glorious pc master race adonis would be excellent

    Nintendo will be making some variant of the game boy or DS for the foreseeable future.

    Wii U might be their last standalone home console though.

    This means the DS3 / DSWii will be the only place to play Zelda / Mario / etc.

    Maybe they will make a chrome cast-like dongle so you can play them on the TV, but there is no reason for them to try making another home console.

    I personally agree with Syndalis' vision for the future of Nintendo, in which they just straight transition to a hand-held console that can be played on the TV and sell that exclusively.

    God knows Nintendo does better when they're playing their own game instead of Microsoft and Sony's.

    The 3DS is about as 'for me' as video game consoles come.

    While I do t agree with lots of Nintendo's decisions lately, I respect that they have a vision for their platforms and they stick to it. I think it is pretty weak how MS backpedaled from their visions of an internet only gaming and entertainment hub to a more conventional console that even dropped the kinect to compete with Sony on price. It probably makes more business sense than sticking with the vision, but it shows less integrity IMO.
