Forums - Sales Discussion - Nintendo Reports Sales Decline as Amiibo, Wii U Software Interest Drops Off

I've been waiting for the new Smash amiibo for 10 months now Nintendo...

End my suffering.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

That is why Nintendo is selling their IPs to Micro, as I told everyone some days ago:

Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

This hopefully means that they can fix up the issues with Amiibos, but I highly doubt they will stop releasing a new Amiibo for each game being launched :/

WiiU being laid to rest, rightfully so. All future efforts to focus solely on the Switch

Their future efforts have been focused on Switch since early 2014. Ever since then they've only finished what they already started, for WiiU. Announcing no new game that wasn't already in the works before E3 2014, with the exception of Color Splash. (And the rushed budget titles, Mario Tennis and Amiibo Festival.)

I called it a long time ago that this was a strong sign that WiiU wouldn't get more than 1 or 2 new quality title announcements, and turns out that's what happened.

One would hope so. Through WiiU's dryer years, Nintendo was working on titles for the Swich.



Cloud and Bayonetta amiibo would spike sales

I completely forgot Amiibo's existed..



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

So they made about $50M profit in the last 6 months. Does that mean if they didn't sell the mariners they'd have made a loss of over half a billion($550m)?

If that's true I can see why they decided to sell them.



The article is wrong - sales of the 3DS is down for the 6-month, not up.

You're right. I was looking at the wrong quarters.
