^pathetic reasoning Tres, you're totally ignoring the software issue on the Wii, Nintendo made mistakes in its software, not because its out of their control, but because they developed software that the market does nto find compelling.

 

NSMB has been pretty much their only killer app since 2008, everything else has been sequels to killer apps that won;t sell systems (Wii fit plus and Wii sports resort), or games that were never really ging to ignite sales anyways (Galaxy and Other M)

So you believe that Nintendo has the magic wand and can pump out those "killer apps" at will whenever they need to? Why haven't they done so? You speak as if it was that easy. It's out of their control. They tried the 2D side scroller formula and the Wii Series formula and none worked. They were lucky that Ubisoft found an untapped market and their game became the best selling new IP of the year. Nintendo did try last year. They had Metroid Other M, Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns (I guess you dismiss this one as well), Kirby's epic Yarn (and this one too), Wii Party (and also this one), Super Mario Collection, Pikachu's Adventure and now this year Mario Sports Mix, Zelda SS and Kirby. Yet sales keep on plunging.

It's out of their control to know which game is going to become the next big thing. Wii Music failed for instance. Wii Party is just another party game. What you are basically saying is that Nintendo needs to make only 2D Mario games and new peripherals (which won't be supported later) to ignite sales... Please try to reason what you are saying, you are just making yourself look bad.

Not at will, but they have a track record of being able to regularly, so its definetly in theirpower, its more about their choice of games to develop.

Donkey kong was a good game, far better than some of their choices, and it did move some consoles, but it was not a killer app

I'm not saying what they have to make, since I'm not a developer (personally I think more old school style games would be the key to success, but who knows), Nintendo and Miyamoto probably have some ideas brewing which could be huge
