Forums - Gaming Discussion - what can nintendo do to make sure the NX sells less than the Wii U?

imagine you are the president of nintendo, and it is your job to see that the NX sells less than the Wii U. how do you do it?

IMPORTANT: READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE POSTING YOUR RESPONSE!!!

now, there are some stipulations to this. the system is still going to be supported with stellar content just as every nintendo console has before it, so you cant say that you will just ship it out to stores with no plans of supporting it with software, because that would be a no brainer. lets stick to things that can ruin the NX that aren't related to marketing, pricing, software support, or anything that would just be obvious. let's try to be creative here. i want to see what you guys come up with.

suggestions on what things you might consider:

what would the new "concept" be?

what would you name it?

what would the console look like?

what features would it have?

what would the controller be like?

if you guys have any other suggestions on what we might consider, i will update the OP

remember, you are the president, and you are responsible for ensuring that this system sells LESS than the Wii U. how do you accomplish this? lay out a plan of action and what details you would reveal in the next direct.

i look forward to reading your responses.

I would invest all my money and shares to buy games for the "The Best Place to Play".

im quoting this post to use as an example for the rest of you

lets try to keep this related to the console and what details might be revealed in the next direct. there isnt much time before all this mystery surrounding the NX is over with, so this is one of our last few opportunities to have fun with it.

The concept: The console itself is a motion controller.

The name: WiiUThem

The look: Like an Xbox One. (To alienate the Japanese market)

Features: Backwards compatibility with NES games only.

 

backwards compaitble with NES only lol that would be fucking hilarious.

Wouldn't it be better if it was called WiiUIt? Nowadays political correcteness is trending, and there's nothing more politically correct than "it". xD



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I just noticed that I didn't place this in the Nintendo discussion. If any mod sees this, feel free to move it. Thank you :)

No, "thing" is too opressive. :P jk/

Best solution would be call it iWiiUHeSheItThey. But then again, Apple would probably sue Nintendo for the "i". :P

Concept: All games are now playable with only 1 button.

Name: Wii UU

Looks: You know those old TVs, those really massive ones? It would look exactly like that, same size too.

Features: It plays games, that's it.

Controller: Shaped like a wiimote, but no motion controls and has only one button on it in the middle of the top side.

If that doesn't sell less than the Wii U then nothing will!

 

Ho

shite



I'm not sure what we have more of, NX threads or pretend ur the president of Nintendo threads.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Having an adapter with all the old cartridge slots and BC built into the hardware would be cool.



I LOVE ICELAND!
