| Nintari said: This is what you get when you cater to people who aren't gamers. They made their money and success off people who don't care about the industry. The type of people who only buy what's "trendy" and "cool". Those people have very short attention spans and they're moving on. The core gamers, the ones who made their company what it is today, the ones who have been on board since the NES/SNES days, they've mostly moved on so it's not like Nintendo can just switch it up and say "we're sorry". It's too late and so, they're going to have to lay in the bed they made.
Hopefully they learn their lesson next generation. |
No one started as a core gamer from the very beginning. Many gamers - like me - started playing video games as kids because it was trendy and cool. When you surpass a certain level it's likely to deepen your interests and become more selective when buying a video game. Sure, many of them are moving on but there's still a chance of becoming a gamer. It's necessary to capture new people who have never been involved in video games.
I think it's kind of arrogant to indirectly claim that Nintendo's approach in this generation with the Wii was wrong in some kind. It was different but unfortunately not good enough to stop the continuing decline in sales.
