Stubborn management is actually why I'm on Nintendo. It won't work 100%, they will get shit on because "why the fuck aren't they doing this, or this, or this popular shit reeeeee", but at the end of the day, their stubbornness is because they play the long game with their properties rather than cheap quick profit. I'd rather have them be stubborn, but managing and maturing their IPs with intelligence than whoring them up. They know it's what makes them print money, and they know people will have no other choice than to buy their hardware to play their IPs. Actually, I think they already went too far in mobile venture with their IPs. I'd rather they just create new IPs just for mobile, and if they somehow managed to struck gold with one (which is incredibly hard to do in that sector), then why not expand that new IP on consoles? Right now they're trying the reverse, and it's my only complain about their current strategy. No big deal though, I can live with this.

>My thesis is that hardware sales are too risky (Wii U almost caused bankruptcy) and low margin
And no, Wii U never made them close to bankruptcy. Not even close. They could survive doing a Wii U again 10 times if needs be. You have to consider how big Nintendo's treasure is. They have like 8 or 10 billions dollaridoos in their treasure chest, and almost no debt to speak of. They could just put their treasure chest in bonds and live off that eternity, Nintendo isn't going anywhere soon. I guarantee you they'll still be there in 100 years.

Also they have the best waifus in vidya.
