There's still a huge audience who'll buy it and support it for years - the Nintendo fans. |
Not a big casual hit? won't quite appeal to the bulk of core gamers (like the wii u mention)?
Nintendo fans? Is that the 20 million who bought the Gamecube? Is that the 100 million that bought Wii?
We'll see what's what after the Christmas Sales.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
