No, sony never claimed that the PS3 slim would not be HD. Nintendo consideres the Wii a toy...that means no bluray playing support or HD games. It is for small children...the kind who watch Pokemon and think it is well drawn.

Anyway, if anything is an epic fail, it's Nintendo's business strategy. It's amusing when a company admits when they don't know what to do next, as they did recently.

I don't see any "epic fail" in tendos product development and marketing strategy.
What is wrong in saying "we don't know what is coming next" when they haven't done any research and decided what to do. .. or do people just want more of the same old crap over and over again? (pspgo anybody??)

Everything is wrong with that. The console is only 3 years old.

"Wii has stalled," Iwata adds. "We were unable to continually release strong software, and let the nice mood cool. We were unable to show a new game to become 'the next thing.' In the game market, once you?ve lost the momentum, it takes time to recover."
"With the price drop, sales returned to a certain level, but they just did not reach the level of last year around this time. We decided that it would be difficult to sell enough to recover from the poor performance of the first half of the year."
How much clearer do they have to get? Their research got them so far. Their market is saturated, and their ideas are dried up. How good is a console that is dying after 3 years if there is no plan to save it? What they are saying is that all they can do is give us the same crap over and over again.

All the preliminary reports had stated the WiiHD was to be released in 2011 so to deny a story that says 2010 isn't being wrong.
