Nintendo doesn't value their own profitability. They have gotten lazy riding the fact that they have the majority of the portable market. They completely ignored what customers wanted and said this is what you are going to get. The WiiU was so short sighted. All the consoles this generation were rushed stop gap solutions, but Nintendo's WiiU is only going to last 4 years. Not many new titles, just a bunch of reboots. And most 3rd party companies don't even want to develop for the WiiU because they don't have the player bases and the console is so different. Like if they improved in just one area, I think it would have made a dramatic different in its success, but everything combine made it kind of lack luster.
I have like 2 dozen legit games for WiiU and the only ones I have finished is skylanders turbo and zombieU. The rest just sit hardly played. I feel kind of ripped off. You want to talk about ripping Nintendo off... I pay 50-60$ a game but they are just not as fun as games available for PC and other consoles at the same price.
