So instead of asking nintendo to give you guys more games to play in the last two years of their consoles' life, many of you want the console life to end a year sooner. That makes a lot of sense.

Of course I'd rather they supported the console I own for a further 2 years, but I have accepted the reality that this isn't going to happen.

Nintendo can only do that because you guys tolerate it. I suggest that you should play some pc games to make up for whatever nintendo lacks. I know that you're not interested in the exclusives of playstation or xbox. 

I'm not tolerating it; I've decided I won't be buying an NX after how they've handled Wii U.

im going to get it. whenever nintendo launches this thing, im going to stand in line and make sure i get it day 1

That's wise. Nintendo will be more inclined to change their ways if they were not getting the fans' $$$.

Wii U isn't getting major support in 2017 regardless if it's replaced in 2016 or 2017.

 


Just gotta put pressure on them to do change that.

"They'll be fine"

Why are they making theme parks, movies or mobile games? Ah yeah, because they want to be "finer" "more fine" "better", not because they needed.

Why is Nintendo unifying the architecture for handheld and console? It must be because costs are now high and they need to cut costs to make little profits. Ah no, they are making just because "it's Nintendo".

Those loses? No problem. Nintendo has infinite money. And why would they want money? Everything they do is because Nintendo love us as a father.

I think Nintendo could have shown NX at E3 last year if they really wanted to, just a formal announcement, but Wii U and even 3DS are selling poorly, especially in the West, that they can't operate the way they used to.

It would like kicking an 80-year-old man in the gut, those systems are not strong enough to handle the NX being shown without what's left of their sales cratering.

Seriously, like November + December 2015 in North America is probably Nintendo's worst holiday sales since like ... 1995 when the SNES was aging and right in that pocket before Pokemon revitalized the Game Boy brand.

 

Actually , Wii U had it's second best holiday ever in 2015 according to NPD - up from 2014.

No it didn't.  The only month the Wii U was up in during the holiday was November, and it was so miniscule that it didn't even go up 1k. It was a couple 100 units.

Holiday 2014: 884k

Holiday 2015: 768k



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

That's fairly obvious and it can be done in multiple ways but it can't be done at all if nintendo fans "support" nintendo's hardware/software unconditionally.
