It seems strange how different the Wii launch is to the Wii U. Before the Wii launched I heard the mainstream media talking about it whereas the Wii U forces me to actively look for information and even the gaming sites don't seem to be saying much about it. It has a big launch but it is as if no one cares that the sequel to the best selling console of a previous generation is launching. |
This is a good sign. It can't be hardcore if all the mainstream casual drones are talking about it.
21.9 million lifetime sales confirmed, worse than GameCube failure, but its top ten selling games will do between 19.6m - 21.7m each, and one of them will even be a third-party title.
Nintendo will once again squirrel away their billions, only to come out fighting against Samsung and Nestlé in ten years time, while being coy about "creating a Blue Moon" where competition is rare. The customer base will consist of dogs.

this is the best post I've ever seen on this site. One thing though, Gamecube made money.
|
but it also nearly drove nintendo out of the game industry.. they said if their next console didn't sell more than gamecube they wouldn't see a reason why they should stay..
|
were did you get that from, about nintendo thinking about leaving the industry? Not saying it's not true, I just never heard that before.

I rememeber reading this quote on IGN a few months or weeks before the Wii launched. The only way Nintendo backs out of the game industry is if it goes bankrupt and has (literally has to) pull a SEGA, or if it restructures itself to get into another businessm, like phones or tablets or something. Unlike the others in the Big 3, it is a game company first and game company almost exclusively. If it's not producing hardware and software, then where is the money coming in? I think that quote was never meant to be taken that seriously. It's not like GameCube was a financial flop. It lost Nintendo a ton of markstshare, but not money.
