Nintendo slashes operating profit target.

I had a feeling when I bought my Wii that it was going to be the last Nintendo console I purchased. Nintendo made a choice to play up the "family" "fun" angle, and got mashed out of the market by Sony and Microsoft.

Now all it's got left is the intellectual property rights in the Mario, Zelda, and Metroid franchises. And Super Smash Bros., of course. Sorry, Nintendo, I'm kinda done with platforming, and Skyrim and Mass Effect kind of cover the other two titles.
