yes and no.
You mean in that time period?
if we are speaking of "console" meaning the exact term then:
in that period the worst selling console was the Ouya.
among the "official" not counting the korean ones.
you should not be sorry for nintendo fans since they bought the console as definition for those games first and then for third partys ones.
On the fact they do not care about what others follow is a fact from n64 era, when they decided to ditch cd thing.
It's a thing you accept or not.
if you agree with their vision of gaming then oyu enjoy a lot their consoles.
if you do not like their vision at least you buy the console and then regret(you were right on buying the console) of on the worst side you read the first pages of this thread to find some armchair CEOs whiners...
like the IOSU whiners!
they cry like kids on this forum for IOSU but they do not help in any way the scene.
amrchair CEOs cry all the time "nintendo should do this, nintendo should do that".
it's 30 years of gaming now that i read these poor guys over the internet...
they should try found a company and make their own Ouya ... EHEHEH
let's make a little Q&A:
is nintendo a profitable company?
YES
is Nintendo firing people or closing studios like Sony and Microsfot did these years?
NO
then the rest are only wishes, people wish nintendo to do this or to do that... they look at nintendo for their personal love or hate...but they are a normal company, if they get the first place in console race is nice but the important for them are numbers to be profitable.
I'm just going to clear this up. I know my post was a little misleading.
The topic is only being related to the Wii U. I brung up the NX seeing, or noteing if it was even worth upgrading, and if they will move their services to the Wii U --> NX.
I mentioned 2012 - 2016 due to it losing value, and to try and be on topic. There are some ways Nintendo can show their laziness sometimes, and granite a lot of video game companies are like that at times. That's mostly my opinion considering the Wii U is $50 USD (American Currency) for the controller, and $200 - $600 USD for the console.
They do a good job with making the games, and I do like them, but money in count and making new things "development" wise with the content they have is not as great. They pretty much reimprove a games graphics make it a little more pricy and say it's new when it's really not new. Same thing with only Nintendo only allowing mostly 1st Party Games to work, instead of 3rd. Which is where I see a lot of Nintendos laziness at hand. And "new ideas" for games.
Again I am a Nintendo Fan (I use a modified Wii) I just do not like the new and constant updates for games, and consoles they have. Saying "Hey! You have to buy this if you want to still enjoy Nintendo!" If you get what I mean. But it is debatiable.
