It matters to the Core gamer, who will be first on site if it can bring any wanted games to the launch. Nintendo is already on the Bottom pretty much in the West. The U.K could care less, and America is right behind the U.K. Has no one taken a peek at sales or the Pre-order chart on this site in months? A great showing at E3 could mean a lot for Nintendo, especially after we have been waiting for two years for them to finally come through with something other than the occasional piece of underwhelming information here and there, and a game or two. Make E3 your make or break for Nintendo or something else, but if they do not pull a rabbit out of their Hat with the Wii U, then they are going to have a tough time in the near future. Especially when they basically, straight up refuse to bring Nintendo gamers in the West any games. We had Kid Icarus a month ago that was not too big of a hit, and we just got what basically amounts to a sports game. Mario Tennis is good, but not good enough to get anyone interested. |
They faced similiar poor performace during the last year of the GameCube before Wii launched. I think the only game they had that year as Odama lol. The cycle starts up again when Wii U launches and then all the big first party games will chart and the growth will occur again. I'm not worried one bit.
