CORRECTION! I never said WiiU or 3DS would be failures. Just shorter than expected lives. They will still be highly profitable for Nitnendo and provide quality gaming experiences.
|
Then could you clarify what you meant by "Nintendo is failing" in the title?
|
That says "nintendo" as in the company as a whole, not just their individual products. THey'll still be profitable, just in a diminishing manner.
|
But does that necessarily mean it's failing though? Does a company have to outdo itself with each new iteration of a product? If that's the case, Ninteno was failing from 1990-2006.
|
Yes. If they continue to reduce in market and sales, they eventually go away. Nintendo was not failing from 1990-2006 as their handheld business continued to grow. Now all of their platforms are in a diminishing market of strictly dedicated gaming.

Ah, how could I forget to include the handheld division? You got me on that one. But I still don't believe that the lack of multimedia functionality is what would force Nintendo into replacing their current consoles earlier than normal. Consumers, no matter how you label them, still buy consoles for games first and foremost by a longshot.
