Going by the comments on this site and the articles over the past week. Yes. Yes, they are.
But their last home console also sold and the one before that still made profit unlike the Xbox1 which sold more than it.
Clickbait
Most of these article's target demographic is Sony fans who hate Nintendo's success.
How can having hardware with Tech that didn't even physically exist until 2011 be 8 years outdated?
Please explain this.
Let this idiotic mantra die. The Wii U is stronger than the PS3/360 and offers far more pontentially than they could ever.
The devs of Project C.A.R.S., Trine 2, and Nano Assault have all attested that the Wii U is all around stronger than the last gen console and that the PS3/360 can't run games to the same level as it. The Wii U is a next gen console with next gen features. The PS3/360 are not. Its going to remain stronger than them no matter how much you don't want...
This article has a faux headline. He said lack of understanding about the Gamepad is the problem, not the gamepad itself.
They said lack of understanding was the problem, not the gamepad itself.
That just means they failed to show the usefulness of the gamepad.
Iwata made Nintendo more money than Sony and Microsoft's gaming divisions combined and brought in the highest selling games in history.
Nintendo is now worth more than Sony, the biggest hardware company in Japan, thanks to Iwata.
Please explain how Iwata is holding back the company.
That last part is the thing that I always find the most mind boggling.
Sony is in far worse shape than Nintendo but everyone article is either praising Sony or damning Nintendo.
Just stop having the best selling games and being the most recognizable gaming company? No, that is not going to happen.
Wrong article.
Agree, They are trying to throw dirt at Iwata and Nintendo while they are down.
He chose Iwata because Iwata could and did get teh job done. The 230 mill they lost in this one quarter has no bearing on the 10 billion+ he made them.
This is offtopic. Keep the Wii U doom and gloom to the hundreds of articles about it on this site.
No apparently you don't. Iwata is not an American CEO and gets paid no where near as much as they do. Neither Iwata or Myamoto get paid that much compared to other company heads despite that the fact that they've made their companies far more money than other company heads.

Iwata's basic salary was less than 500USD.
Nintendo doens't make Pokemon. They just own the I.P. and pay the company that does.
You would have to send that idea to the people who actually make it.
He earned that by making Nintendo billions.
He made no where near that much at the start but when the company was seeing huge success with the Wii, everyone received pay raises.

Iwata makes the least out of all of the major gaming CEO's in Japan. The head of Sony awards himself 5 times as much as Iwata.
@GhostTurtle, how exactly is running away from a problem and dumping it on someone else manning up?
Iwata resigning is something that Nintendo haters want, and they want it for reasons that are far from beneficial to the company.
Nintendo never targeted a casual audience. They targeted the exact same audience that they have been since the 80's. That audience is "everone"
Calling Nintendo's audience casual is just a attempt by butt-hurt Sony fans to write off Nintendo's success in an insulting way, the same with how they label every unique or creative them Nintendo does a gimmick where they don't when Sony and Microsoft the same thing.
Ever heard of the term saturation? Some things sell better do to being unique or esclusive like seasonal coffees at Starbucks and limited edition products.
If Nintendo made their software for other Markets it would increase the saturation and make the popularity go down.
Nintendo is a hardware company first and foremost. They make most of their profit off of hardware. Their software exists solely to show off their hardware. If people could get the software e...
Wasn't this known by all of the "sane" people from the beginning?
