I would laugh too, the Wii U is a joke of a console right now. 3rd parties have all but abandoned nintendo even after they said at E3 last year they said they had full cooperation of them. A next gen console already needing a price cut is bad news especially coming off the amazing Wii.



Perhaps they didn't release it at a very good price point like the last two hand helds that were released.

I think a lot of people are overreacting in this thread. When any console maker is doing badly they get made fun of. Personally I think it's good that when a company gets arrogant it then gets taken down a couple of notches. It then forces them to come up with solutions and compete harder. Just look at Sony as the perfect example.

Sony launched a $600 dollar console which they expected people to get an extra job for if required to afford. Due to their hubris they were laid low until they finally were forced to become more consumer friendly and also made a massive investment into their 1st party studios and online network. All the while they maintained good 3rd party relations.

Even though I prefer Sony I like that there is competition as it benefits all gamers. We should have more solidarity as gamers and act less like tribals when it comes to the companies we like.

With regards to the guys on the panel some of their choice of words may have sounded anti Nintendo but in reality they are just pointing out the difficult position that Nintendo finds themselves in. I don't recall them saying anything which suggests that they want Nintendo to fail. It's as if constructive criticism automatically equates to people having an anti Nintendo agenda according to some people.

Nah, they were plain dismissive on invalid grounds (it only plays Nintendo games???? lol okay good reason there, as if that ever was an issue).

It seems that they forgot how to do that with the WiiU. And even with the 3DS, Brain Age and Nintendogs aren't as big as they used to be.

Nop, animal crossing, Mario Kart 7, SM3DL, Luigi's Mansion and New Super Mario Bros 2 disagree. I agree with you on BA and NDogs, but there are examples that prove they haven't forgotten. Also, Brain Age and Nintendogs may not be due to them forgetting, but due to the market being saturated with those ideas, and Nintendo needing to re-invent themselves, once again.

A console selling at 100$ more than a predecessor needing a price-cut sooner, how illogical aye? I get why you're laughing it makes complete sense.

i would laugh too. seeing that the WiiU needs help, and alot of it. and then Nintendo saying how good the console is. it cant even run DVD's. yeah a home console alright.
i think their laughing more at the fact that Nintendo isnt doing anything. and if the WiiU does fail, it would be no ones fault but their's.
i hope SEGA revels something this E3 or next E3 about their rumored console. im getting lonely with these 3 :)

Everyone has a dvd player from before, and having it in there would just make the Wii U more expensive. Not to mention that netflix is 10 times better than dvds anyway. And Nintendo are actually doing stuff, but behind the scenes. And they are making games to sell it. Also, I don't think it will be a wise decision for Sega to make a new console. They ain't got a chance, unless they make a "Wii," something revolutionary. A PC might be able to survive though.

The 3ds was a joke of a handheld, as far as I remeber Nintendo promised third party support, and it needed a price cut right in the start even though it was coming off the amazing ds. Now it's doing fine.

And that is why your website failed.

Explain where I am wrong?

Oh and the reason my first website had to go was a logistical problem but this has nothing to do with this thread.

Everywhere (and just because I know you're the type of user to report me for this, look at my last post, you were quoted, and also take a look at isawyoshi's reply to you).



Whats really funny is how everyone can see the problem and everyone knows how to fix it...

Other than Nintendo.

Yup and according to these people the solution certainly isn't games or a price reduction, it's simply better graphics and 3rd party support.
That makes it really funny!

Your sentence makes zero sense. A next-gen console being forced to have a price cut a few months after launch is horrific news, you can't spin that.

Not saying they're doing anything is not equivalent to not doing anything, a lesson Nintendo fans especially have had to learn over the last generation.

9 days until the investors' meeting...
