Nintendo is unique but they won a price war this generation that's all, The fact that HD consoles combined outsold the Wii by a large margin is a telling statement. It sold on price and gimmick at the start of the generation and survived awhile on some solid games. Unfortunately it's over and it has been consistently outsold for much of the year. But for Nintendo all it will take is a bad handheld/console generation or two and it might call it quits. The Wii really saved them. Additionally, I would wager most Nintendo owners primarily buy a Nintendo for Nintendo published games specifically as their third party hasn't been good since SNES days. This makes them an obvious candidate to end up as a publisher on superior Hardware. |
Yeah, I agree. as soon as Nintendo have a bad home console generation or two they will call it quits.
I predict that after the Wii U, they will release a console called the N64, and it will sell around 30 million. That's one bad generation right there, and they might call it quits after that. but if they don't, they will call their next console the GC, and it will sell worse, barely over 20 million. That's two bad generations in a row - surely after that they will call it quits...
