@Pezus The US is there but gaming didn't begin in 2003. So if it went back alittle further you would see a big decline in Sony hardware and lol at combining everything else. Microsoft is making up for the decline of Sony plats. Ninty doesn't have another plat to cover its decline.
Tablets are to blame.
| BasilZero said: Market isnt in decline nor is it Nintendo's fault. Its more like the market has expanded towards other platforms mostly being Tablet/Smartphones and PC (which is never recorded in stats). There's just so much to get and so little monies ;(. |
You hit the nail on the head. Nintendo put themselves into that predicament. They admitted they were after the Tablet and Smartphone market with the Wii U. Wrong market to break. Thats the exact reason it is their fault, but also its the economy.
The market is in decline and it's easy to know why. Lack of innovation from big publishers and this awful focus on shooters are to blame.

The "Shooter" generation was always popular, consoles just made it mainstream. Goldeneye sold just as much as the first Halo. A good FPS will always sell well if it marketed properly. It isn't guitar hero or casual titles.
@Pezus You should take your own advice and read it again. The blue line is much lower at the end of the chart than the beginning.
| axumblade said: I think it is because Nintendo is just the first on the market. If you look at the 360 launch, it wasn't super impressive (about 5 million before the next console launched) but it still managed to give the 360 the edge to keep it over the 360 up until this point. |
The logistics behind this boggle the mind!
I know you meant the PS3. I would counter that the PS3 had a horrifically bad start, and that the Wii breezed right by the 360 in no time at all. More to the point, I'd argue that the Wii U launch is just outright botched: being first or last to release has no effect on that.
| phenom08 said: Exactly Mr. Khan, without Ninty the market would continue to decline because lets face it, they're the only ones left that can actually sell well globally and not just well in a hand full of territories. |
I'm not sure if you're being serious here... if you are, you toke his comment in a completely different direction.
