Have a PS4 yet?

this DLC does well, we can probably expect Nintendo to try to do something similar for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. And who would be upset about that? Nintendo fans have shown that they’re willing to hack their consoles to add more characters to previous Smash Bros. games — Nintendo can keep those fans happy by releasing new characters and combat stages while making some extra money. Everybody wins.

Will that extra revenue make up for the fact that the Wii U is a flop? Probably not, though it might give them some breathing room as they consider their options going forward.

The worst possible outcome would be that paid DLC and new releases are so insufficient that Nintendo is forced to do more sponsored DLC, like the pack of Mercedes-Benz vehicles it made available as a free software update for Mario Kart 8. Advertising for real-world goods in the cartoonish Mushroom Kingdom leaves a bitter aftertaste every time I see it. I hate the idea of Nintendo going under, but to see it happen while the company sells its soul is even worse:

WiiU is a flop because reasons.

X1 is not a flop because it's still their first year. Despite the WiiU selling the same way their first year and was touted as a massive failure....

It sucks, but at least that way mario can be played on the xbox and ps4 and pc, which more than triples there base now. And who wouldn't buy smash bros. on xbla or psn with great their online connectivity?!

Sanjuro Tsubaki wrote: "That would be fine if Nintendo were able to crank out its titles like entries in the Call of Duty franchise, producing games good enough to keep bringing fans back for more." What a stupid thing to say. Call of Duty aka kill-kill-kill die-die-die. Yeah, really a good model of diversity. And: "I hate the idea of Nintendo going under." I really doubt this statement is true, quite the opposite actually, the author doesn't seem to give a flying fuck about Nintendo.
