3DS launch has caused Nintendo a lot of problems, It'll be wise for Nintendo to avoid that at all costs.The problem is that we don't know. And if we look at what the 3DS was said to offer vs what it offered at launch, the apparent problem is quite easily visible. Every console has promised lots of things, but the time to get the system working may take a good while.Why does everyone think Wii U is just a Wii HD, obviously they are going to offer more than that to differentiate from competitors in the current market, whether it's through graphics capabilities, advance network, unique new gaming experience and Nintendo themselves have said that. we'll see at this years E3.
If they ship a console again with missing features and crappy game launch, yeah good luck with that, any company to be honest.
