Then they're probably going to be abysmal failures, too. It's the end of gaming as we know it!
I've become quite bitter toward Nintendo. I don't know if I changed more or if they did, but I just don't like most of what they do nowadays.
Clearly, I'm not indicative of all people interested in video games and I'm certainly no longer Nintendo's primary market. I, at least, wasn't during their Wii era. With a name like Wii U and confirmation that it will use the Wii's controller (and, additionally, a tablet), Nintendo is fully embracing its current branding, which will do little to recapture lost fans, like myself.
Plus, Nintendo just posted a pretty huge loss. Their first one ever, I believe. I'm not pretending to be a marketing genius (though someone at Nintendo at least was for being able to take Wii as far as they have), but that tells me they need to do something drastic to rekindle interest in their products.
Sure, we know very little about Wii U (including whether or not that will be its official name), but I was more interested in it when I only heard Nintendo was working on another system. Speculation (and hope) was more exciting than actual information, despite how little there even was. Everything so far has just been disappointing.
