And? Once more you follow up with something that I'm not debating. My point above still stands. But since you bring it up, it's foolish to believe that the market would have so readily abandoned the Wii had Nintendo continued to heavily support it. The console would already be past the 100m mark had that been the case. |
Proof? Where is the proof it would have chugged along sales wise? Do you have some sort of future telling machine or a what if caculator? All you are going on is what you BELIEVE would have happened. Personally, I believe the reason the sales dive occured is due to the fact that most of the Wii craze came off the backs of people who weren't gamers to begin with. They were hipsters, and people who just wanted to have the hottest "it" thing. When you look at the rise of mobile gaming, and the ipad, and you factor in the shift towards farmville...I think it's clear what happened. Nintendo didn't see it coming, and THAT'S why the Wii went down hill so fast. Facebook and mobile gaming took those non gamers away and all that was left was the core fanbase, or the "Gamecube" base.
This generation, those non gamers aren't coming back because they've moved on. If the Wii-U does well, it'll be because Nintendo made great core gamers.
