Wait. What happened. This thread almost turned in to a happy place full of agreement instead of what it was earlier?
People stopped fighting it and accepted the Wii U as a failure. Accepted that Nintendo made a whole series of mistakes that started arguably in the 16bit era (Sega was probably the first to court a few developers, Sony took that method and ran with it) but came to a head with the N64's failure and has basically gone downhill from there. With the 3ds still floundering a bit and being under pressure from the first real competition in decades it seems Nintendo does not even have handhelds to mask it.
There were some good games along the way, maybe even some great ones, but that matters little in business talk.
When people are in agreement like that it tends to make for agreeable discussion.
