nintendo is smart which is why they're dipping their toes in the entertainment app market only as far as to milk stupid entertainment app users and satisfy stupid shareholder demands

they can use those profits to continue to make the most successful gaming devices on the market and the best games

the wii u is still the best non-handheld gaming device available with the best library and support

it's a "flop" only in the sense that it didn't match up sales-wise to the single most successful gaming device ever made, the wii

meanwhile sony is circling the drain and microsoft can't retreat fast enough from the gaming market

nah, the wii u was marketed terribly and didn't differentiate itself from the wii early on

switch looks like it'll combine their handheld and home development which is the right move imho
