Forums - Sales Discussion - How can Nintendo compete with the big dawgs?

It is obvious the Wii U is not selling all that hot right now. It has little to offer that the PS3 and Xbox 360 don't have already. It is set at a high price based of the value you are getting. I simply think Nintendo will not have any games that can sell more systems than Titanfall, Infamous, Halo, etc.

What should Nintendo do?? I think they should get rid of the tablet, make their system 200 dollars, bundle a game with every system, market like Xbox, establish themselves in emerging economies. Hell, I can't even find Wii U's in most US stores I go to. How do I expect Wii U units to be in poland etc.

They need a high definition zelda that has similar graphics to twilight princess. I know you guys like the cartoony, verticle style zelda games but 95% of people don't. 95% of people like twilight princess graphics. Nintendo Needs to stop catering to hardcore fans and build their system for everyone to enjoy.

Nintendo needs to answer the question "why should I upgrade from my Wii to a Wii U. All they have so far are the same games in slightly better graphics and they can't stay competitive with the new systems.

Genuine question, is this a joke thread?



Is this going to be a Every other day with you now O.o

Just asking >_



By returning to the philosophies that made NES/Wii successful, and abandon the "hardcore" or niche style of games they pursued with N64, Gamecube, and have returned to with the Wii U.

Sales of Wii U have increased by nearly 75% in the last two weeks. And it's only going to continue to grow through Christmas, as Nintendo consoles always do. And even right now, the Wii U sold roughly as much as the Xbox 360, and technically outsold the PS4. In other words, it's selling fine.

You're the same person that claimed that Nintendo was now "totally irrelevant" in the home console space, with the claim that "the Wii U is actually losing sales week on week" - except, it had grown for the last two weeks outside of Japan (which had had a very strong week two weeks earlier due to a major release). You never responded to me calling you out for that, so I don't expect you to acknowledge this post, either.

Nearly as much as the 360, a 8 year old console that is still 399 for the Kinect 250 gig. It only outsold the PS4 because there is a shortage, haven't you read the other threads??

Everthing I said was factual. Wii U sales were down that week. I can't help it if they release a game and it sells better for a week or two. Sorry if I didn't respond to you now I get a lot of people that quote me. Musta missed you. Sorry I hurt your feelings <3

It's toastboy. Cut him some slack.

You're doddamn right!




Push out exclusives, get the important multi-plats, secure a few 3rd party exclusives, improve the VC, improve the online infrastructure, avoid droughts, and most importantly, don't try to compete directly with Sony and MS.
