IF Nintendo does not impress at E3 this year will Nintendo fail in the West? Change of opinion now?

I wasn't expecting a Nintendo's doomed thread from you spurge.

Anyway, 3DS sales haven't been amazing in the west, that's true, but they aren't bad either. It's just that we were used to the monster numbers of the DS. And yes, they sell more in Japan but that's because they have more/better games because those games are made by Japanese developers/Co. so it's normal that they get launched there first. Once western developers start launching their games, its sales will get better.

Also remember that each unit sold makes Nintendo to loose money... maybe they are holding the big games after August when they expect to start making as profit from each unit sold! (it's a joke, don't take it seriously)

Their short term failure or success will be decided on the WiiU. Next E3 they need to focus on it. We know that 3DS will have western developers, but it's very important for them to show the us, the western audience, that they also have that support for the WiiU.
