It does have an identity crisis. Nintendo made the console very tough to develop on, and they marketed it very poorly.
That said, there are some amazing first party games coming out soon like Mario kart 8 that should boost sales.
Microsoft has a great anti Nintendo ad campaign going... publishing the same article in every blog and newspaper selling article space out there. The tip off is the use of propaganda and sophistry techniques sprinkled into every article. Up until now all the articles said “Nintendo lost money” but guess what... they didn’t! Nintendo didn’t lose money on the Wii U. And also, its a pretty good system.
Poor Microsoft!!!
They’re just trying to distract from the real problem... XBOX one is getting trounced by Sony PS4! That’s the problem Mr. Softy has.
