News flash! It's never going to sell Wii numbers. So, in your mind, does that make it a "failure". Just wondering. |
*sigh*...News flash! Not selling at Wii levels is a problem. Lets go down the slippery slope shall we:
Wii sold ~ 6 million by march 07, Wii U will not touch that number, nor will they make Nintendo's own projection of 5.5 million by March '13 (neither will the wii at 5 million), nor will Nintendo hit their software goal (4 games per system currently half that with the busiest part of the holiday season over and delays to software next year AND thats assuming the numbers on the site is correct) which in turn means higher losses (nitnendo projected just 6 billion yen in profit by march assuming everything it layed out would hit) since the Wii U is already sold at a loss and needs software sales to surplant losses (per Reggie, even though he did not mention the mix in which that scenario was true).
Lastly and the most important Iwata constanly mentions at the beginning in his briefings/conference calls that Nintendo's primary goal is to expand the gaming population for its products. Wellllllll the Wii U selling less than the Wii is not expanding the gaming market thus failing at Nintendo's own primary goal.
But all that is neither here nor there. Nintendo reports on January 21st, I'm sure we all will get a sense of just how well the company is doing.
