Exhibit B: http://www.gamesradar.com/npd-numbers-reveal-how-nintendo-has-lost-touch-reality/
Nintendo is really starting to lose it if they think this was a good year for the U.
Nintendo: Two systems. One selling really well; one selling really poorly. Sony: Two systems. One selling really well; one selling really poorly. Conclusion: Nintendo: Doomed! Sony: Doing great! Where are all the articles slamming Sony for the performance of the Vita?
O
I lold, but I didn't get that from the article. They said they're doing well which is a bit off, but I do agree that they are gaining momentum when they need to be. This past year had nothing to offer for WiiU but this coming year will see increase in sales as games start actually coming out for it, hopefully.

What would you like to see Nintendo do that would actually impress you or coax you into buying their system?
First. The handheld market is a secondary market. What I mean by this is its generally not the first system that you buy, its the second or third machine that you will buy. In addition, the handheld market only makes up so much of the actual market that for the millionth time, third parties don't see it as a big seller of video games, and looking at most third party titles, such as BioShock, CoD, Battlefield, Fallout, Mass Effect etc, they cannot be played the same way on a handheld and therefor take a backseat for obvious reasons.
Second, honestly Nintendo brings nothing new to the table. I get that you raging Nintendo fans see every Mario game, every first party title as the second coming. Its the same way with MS (Halo) and Sony (MGS?), but honestly its getting old. I want something new, something different, a different take. The only game I honestly look forward to is the new Zelda game, that is so far out it hasn't been named. Outside that, considering how awesome third party games have been or are looking, the Wii U is going to miss just about every single one, with the exception of Banyotta 2, or be some gimped version either due to graphics, the sad attempts at incorporation the touch screen or even just fully avoiding this feature
Sony will probably quit the handheld game. IMO Nintendo certainty does it best there with everything that the 3DS brings to the table, but that market is only so big and its not as big as it use to be due to touch screen phones (not saying they can ever replace a handheld, but they certainly take some of the market away).
