I take no joy in the demise of the Wii U, or bad state of Nintendo. A rising tide raises all ships.
Funny how as champions of an orphaned computer we take such glee in others misfortune. That being said game devs are fickle, from what I hear Nintendo has enough to keep going based off or Wii Virtual Console, casual and first party Nintendo title sales and over time incrementally dial up support.
EA killed the Dreamcast with lack of support, that was more of a revenge play as SEGA had Genesis, 32X, SegaCD, CD32X, and Saturn on the market at the same time. EA took a bath on sales and the rest is history. If it was up to shareholders
Nintendo would be making I-OS apps, fire all in house development and outsource all game development to the lowest bidder.
Props to Nintendo to NO reducing staff in these hard times, they know you don't break up AAA dev teams because share holders and financial analysts want your blood.
I was reading the article over at ars technica:

Some of the big games companies have already abandoned it.
It is amazing how quickly a games company couldn't be bothered developing software ports. It's not just about sales, it's an insatiable greed for money.
I remember the games companies jumping from platform to platform depending on popularity.
Wii went down the toilet :roflmao:
