This idea that nobody cares about or buys their hardware is silly. They just need to make good hardware with compelling software to sell it.

Nobody says this sort of thing to Microsoft about Halo or Sony about Uncharted.

The 3DS is *so* good, it overshadows their Wii U. In the end, Nintendo is always Japan first everywhere else second. The new guy might change that som -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 11:40
Check the numbers on the sales of current systems vs. the old systems. It's *abyssmal*. - Shaun Jul 13, 11:18 4
- It's one generation. Sony sales from PS2 to PS3 went down 75 million. PSP to Vita is even more abysmal. -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 13, 11:23 3
  - Except Sony & MS are at least trying to have the best system. Nintendo's entering its 3rd generation of not trying to compete in that arena. - Ender Jul 13, 11:28 2
    - Very much this. Making awesome 1st party games for your hardware is pointless if the userbase does not exist. - Shaun Jul 13, 11:37
    - We don't have specs on the NX yet, and with a new CEO, it's premature to say they aren't trying. - Inigo Jul 13, 11:36
