Sony and Microsoft going hard in the paint with those exclusives this year tho 
Halo 4 had a great campaign but lots of people said the mp strayed too far from its roots. It also suffered from coming out right when cod was about to drop. If they learn from that then halo will be back where it was. I think I'm one of the few that really liked halo 4 tho.

I actually doubt Nintendo cares...because if you look at there track record...they have always made the games they want to make, and made developers make their games the way nintendo wants to make them...You search the net and you will find plenty of developers who say nintendo is hard to work with because they don't want you to put blood in their games...you can't curse in their games...you can't do "realistic violence" in their games...
Developers have been saying this for years...
Aaaaannnnndddd....Nintendo does not care at all...they do not care because they seem to be focused on making the content they want for the audience they want and if you do like it and if it doesn't sell...nintendo doesn't care cause they sitting on all that NES money, they sitting on that SNES money, they sitting on that gameboy money, they sitting on that 3DS money...
People never stop and think that all companies have different strategies, goals, ethics, etc...
Nintendo has all the resources to make a console as powerful as Sony and Microsoft, but they don't...because they don't care to...
To assume that Nintendo doesn't care is ridiculous, but I will leave you to it. I am sure Nintendo is cooking up a Wii U 2 even with them taking a hard hit because its the kind of games they want to make.

I'm not assuming...I'm looking at their track record in the industry...and their track record is that they like to do things their way, and they like the content for their systems to be made a specific way for a specific audience...this is not the first time they lost money...and it won't be the last...and they will continue to make consoles, rather those consoles make them money or don't make them money...
People want to cram Nintendo into the Sony and Xbox console wars...where it is clear to me that Sony and Xbox only care about being the number 1 console and will do whatever it takes to be the number 1 console...while when I look at nintendo's history it is clear to me that they do not care about being the number 1 console...have never cared...and i highly doubt will ever care...

Nintendo is a business...
They are just in the business of doing whatever the fukk they want regardless of what the rest of the industry thinks they should be doing...
Say maybe you were wrong...

so are you saying Nintendo set out with a goal to have these numbers and losing money on the Wii U? Then saying while laughing "I guess we showed them"

No...I am saying that Nintendo set out and said "We want to make a console this way, with these games, and if the developers want to make games for our system then they will have to follow our guidelines" And that is what they did with the N64...and it was meh...and with the gamecube...and it a small failure...and with the wii...and it was a success...and with the wii u...and it is looking like a failure...and they will take the same approach with the next console
Unlike Sony and Microsoft...who just want to be the number 1 gaming console...so they will do whatever they think the market wants them to do...
Microsoft wanted to use DRM...and everyone complained...and Microsoft decided we not going to use DRM...
Sony did not have the PS4 support MP3's because they want to sell you music unlimited...and now people are complaining..."hey i can't add my own soundtrack to games cause the ps4 doesn't support mp3's"...and now sony is like "well if need be we can support mp3 in the future"...and nobody is buying that music unlimited shyt. How much you want to bet in the next 3 firmware updates for PS4 we get mp3 support?
Meanwhile everyone told Nintendo that mini disc were not the way to go for the gamecube and they said "yeah so what we like mini disk we are using them."
It is just a difference in philosophy...Nintendo makes consoles and games to make money...of course...but they want to make that money making their games, their way, on consoles designed, their way...
