Gameboy had the advantge that the New/SNES refined king and had much better battery life compared to its rivals.

PS1 had a better and xehaper to prosxue media format compared to the N64, and the RPG genre which had become popular at the tail end of SNES era moved over to the PS1. PS2 had the momentum of the PS1 success and won over a lot of people because it was pretty cheap DVD player.

NDS did okay but it didn't become the sales giant until it got a mass market redesign and the blue ocean software.

I know the Wii U is Nintendo's flagship but the system is flawed on not only a hardware level but a pure conceptual one.

WAT!

Nobody ain't gonna pay for a $500 Nintendo console. And Nintendo themselves know that.

Heck, a Wii U costs around US$600 in Costa Rica. Ain't gonna pay 1000 bucks for a Nintendo system.

Your opinion was invalid the moment you cared about getting the most powerful machine and decided to get a home console.

it's a shame because the topic thread seemed like it was one that noticed that Wii's failure to keep up quality releases towards the end was a terrible idea, but nope

There's a lot of factors that went into Wii U's slow start but I think the biggest is Nintendo was, and still is, having a hard time getting the big first party games out in a timely manner. As far as what Nintendo should do in the future... I don't know how many others feel this way, but for me, ever since Gameboy, my favorite Nintendo systems have been its portable ones so next-gen if Nintendo's machine is an affordable home console/handheld hybrid, that's fine. Nintendo's systems are just there to serve as devices to play first party content on anyway and given the nature of Nintendo's releases they don't need high powered machines to look and run great. Let Sony and MS keep providing the expensive high-powered home consoles while Nintendo does its own thing- even when Nintendo makes a high powered console (N64, Gamecube) it does other things that turn third parties off so you have to get a PS or Xbox to compliment it anyway. I want to play Super Mario 3D World, DK Tropical Freeze, X and Mario Kart 8 but those are literally the only Wii U games that interest me, if I could play all those on the 3DS it would be awesome. Given the huge success Nintendo's portable line of systems always seem to reach I think it makes a ton of sense to go with a hybrid machine for say $300.

Heh, I was talking on a graphical aspect but thanks.

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

That's an opinion, though. Everyone said the same thing about Nintendo DS.

PSP had better graphics, had media playback, and arguably better online, but DS had more games, because they were cheaper, had a second screen, the second screen was touch, and was still graphically a marginal improvement over anything that came prior.

GBA to DS was like SNES to N64, while GBA to PSP was like SNES to Dreamcast.

Was wishing the Wii's death since just after i got it near launch. The wiimote did awful things I don't want to return to. I don't care who enjoys motion controls, I feel like I'm playing video games in a terrible dream with them. Possibly evil clowns are also in the dream also waiving wiimotes.
