Nice read, and spot on

All tis negativity has gone to waste IMO. Nintendo aren't struggling. You're a fool if you reckon so...


Apart from zgamer5 who says the article is wrong. 

Well he's obviously trolling/ a fanboy then


your calling me a fanboy when the artivles says that ninty has the best franchises and you agree with it. how ironic.


Best in terms of best-selling, most impact on the market. Pokemon, Mario, Wii series, Brain Training, Nintendogs... All have sold in the tens of millions of units in recent years, and have sold millions, perhaps tens of millions of consoles. The man who wrote this article is not some blind fanboy, he is a business analyst writing a blog for Forbes. Open your eyes a little.


thats why at the time of the gamecube we had the best selling 2d mario. point is if the hardware sales arent huge and dont attract the casuals your not going to get best selling software. 

i am opening my eyes. everywhere around me i see people playing on ipad, iphones, people going out with it, these people are called casuals i dont know if you them but they are the reason the wii and the ds are so succesful. and if they have iphones instead of a 3ds then that means that not all casuals are willing to spend for the premium service, and that apple is in competition with nintendo(thats two points).

and then theirs the: its nintendo theyl do something dont be worried. i acknowledge that over the past years nintendo has been the best most innovative company, but theyr human everybody does mistakes.


I agree with zgamer5 here.

Apple and Nintendo do compete for similar markets. They both produce handheld devices that offer similar user experiences. The main difference is the way they market the devices and that Nintendo also develops gaming software. However, since the xDS and IPxD are both handheld electronic devices that can play games in any way of analyzing the industry it has to be acknoledged there is some overlap.

If what I described didn't resonate, didn't Apple hire Nintendo's marketing lead?
