You wanted to mold this debate in a way that would validate your point of view, and only your point of view. Why is lacking DLC a problem? Because 51% of HD console owners bought DLC in 2011. That is expected to generate $1 billion USD in revenues in North America in 2012. That is a significant chunk of change, and if those kinds of numbers continue to trend, you're looking at a multi-billion dollar industry during the prime of the WiiU's lifecycle. If Nintendo doesn't address that mutli-billion dollar industry, they're going to be in a very difficult situation. |
Right, but
You haven't outlined how it actually translates into a difficult situation
Even allowing that Wii U users buy significantly less DLC, what part of that translates into Nintendo losing the console war?
