Criticism "The Wii U is Nintendo's Last Console"

I agree that Nintendo and the Wii U are doomed, but I must disagree with the entire article. The stuff you actually said came from nowhere and was going nowhere. As for Nintendo games on mobile devices, that's simply the obvious alternative to having their own handheld. Obvious article is obvious.

N64 was their last console. Since, its been toys for children.silversix_

Isn't that mostly a mobile phone site?

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] And alienate their userbase?charizard1605

This post contains a lot of things that could be classified as "biased speculation" and at worst utterly unfounded in any form of fact or logical reasoning. The first part is non sensical in the fact that the Wii-U has already moved a decent number of units since launch even if the numbers are not what industry analyists expected. This will not be the last wii (excuse that pun) see of Nintendo in the console market if for nothing else the fact that they still have enough cash on reserve (google the numbers) to produce another console even if the Wii-U was never profitable. That in concert with the fact that the OG Wii made Nintendo quite a bit and 3DS sales chugging along well now, Nintendo will not be short on cash. Not to continue beating this dead horse but as soon as the Wii-U gets some good first party games (Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Animal Crossing, etc.) sales will pick up because Nintendo fans on the fence over buying one will likely make the purchase to play these games. Finally your ending bit about the future of Nintendo on iOS and Android is nonsensical because a) there will be another Nintendo console and b) Charging 9.99 for a Mario app would never cover the development costs of a game of that nature. Sure mobile games are getting some traction with casual experiences like Words with Friends or the new rage Duck or Llama (I'm not even making this sh*t up, there is an actual game many people play that involves one or the other of the two species to be flashed onto the screen and you have to quickly hit the button to denote which one it was). In essence iOS and Android are not real gaming platforms, find me a person that can play any iOS or Android game for over 30 hours total or even put more than 2 consecutive hours into and I'll show someone who is under 8 years old or legally brain dead...

Isn't this the 4th time Nintendo has released their last console?genfactor

Something like that.

Nintendo hasn't changed since the early 80s. Always consoles for kids.
