Does anybody remember when Metriod Prime came out? That blew my mind! You don't get that with current Nintendo games.
Xenoblade bids you welcome.
I dunno. Its under powered but it can still compete and I'm pretty sure it can do so in the long run considering how many last gen console ports we are getting for every new release. The Wii-U is stronger than them, so it could last. But then again...no consoles sold means no third party interest means MEH.
Apparently, Reggie doesn't agree with multiplayer only games:
While I agree with him for the most part, multiplayer only games CAN do well. Just look at TF2.

Yup the power isn't the problem it didn't have the needed the games to make it work. That said they won't die or anything they just will likely have to do some major work on their console to force it to life or build a new one early.
Bad in what sense?
The problem with Nintendo is not the quality of their consoles but the lack of titles. It has always been since the tail end of the N64.
Ubisoft basically said they had a full game developed for the Wii U but are not releasing it until they get more sales. As well, Rayman Legends was suppose to be an exclusive but has been released on multiple platforms. Lastly, the lack of sport games also hinders Nintendo consoles.

No, they wouldn't, and it's not as if they'll starve, anyways. You don't have to continue acting like they're waiting to die simply because people who aren't Nintendo consumers don't want them around. They don't matter, in this case.
As for those people (the ones saying "Nintendo should stop the console race because I don't care about them"😉, why?! Let's say they do drop, would you honestly give a f**k? It's not as if you'll be affected by it; only those who actually buy their products. Why make things worse for them?!

The Wii U isn't living up to their expectations.
Even with the spectacular showing at E3; Gamers are aware that the other consoles will produce better titles, like they have in the previous generations.
E3 is not the 'be all, end all'.. Shit, the previous generation consoles haven't even ended yet.
Naw they'd make more money short term going software only. Long term? They'd need to drastically reduce their size to even dream of staying afloat. They aren't dying now, and they still have time to fix their wii u issues and they can take being third place anyway. Doesn't matter as long as they make enough money to offset the costs and their 3ds keeps selling like crazy.
Going software only would only benefit the guys at the top who sell the company right after the initial stock boost.
Let's remember why Sega went software only. Researching and developing a console is freaking expensive to do. That's not including the cost to produce an individual console as well.
That's why people say they should go software only. The operating costs are lower and there could be a chance to sell a lot of copies of software. I would bet Mario/Zelda would sell 5-10 million more copies if it went third party. Not including how much money they would make if they start producing mobile apps using their brand.
Look at Ubisoft/EA/Activision. They are big companies making a lot of money, and they don't sell consoles. I don't know why people think Nintendo would crumble if they went software only considering their strength has always been producing top quality games.

Iwata irc gave a pretty good explanation on why he would only do it if he planned to sell the company, and only cared for short term sucess. Sure he could just be talking shit but it made sense to me and it makes sense given their business strategy and focus. Nintendo is much more resilient then sega was
And I doubt mario would sell anymore if software only. Anyone who wants it already has nintendo stuff, which is why mario kart is always the highest selling game or top 3 for them. So it'd likely sell about the same but make less money due to having to pay bs fees where as now it's all in house and they aren't losing money on their consoles even if it doesn't sell as much as they wanted.
And once again their handheld is too good to justify no hardware, shitting on the ps vita
