| ps4tw said: Looking at the sales figures, the Dreamcast, a console widely seen as a failure and the downfall of Sega, sold better than the Wii U to date. As Nintendo has the cash assest to survive a failed console, where will they go from here? It seems that they do not want to adapt to the demands of the modern gamer, and their core user base is smaller than ever. This being said, will this force Nintendo's hand out of the console business just as the Dreamcast did to Sega? How can Nintendo repair the publicity damage the Wii U has done to them in the eyes of gamers? |
The tittle is so much wrong!!! How OP able to tell Wii U life time sales and compare with Sega Dreamcast which already dead (not selling).
Anyway there are only two categories on wining in general : Market share and profit, Wii U has a smaller portion of market share but they have a good profit in return, and for 3DS, it dominating in core portable gaming market and profiting. So Nintendo is actually in far better position compare to SEGA.
Other thing such as license, Amiboo, character license and games sales also make a lot of profit for Nintendo, and their current financial statement is far better then SONY and bigger then SEGA.
So Nintendo will still able to produce next gen console in the future along with their handled and still able to support their console and handle for a very, very,very long time even if they would failed in the future.
So OP it's to soon for you to write the tittle.
