Their predictions were ridiculous. “They initially guided 24 million, are taking that down to 16 million, which is a 4:1 software attach rate. That’s reasonable, especially given that the installed base is 3 million hardware units now and the guidance implies they need to ship only 4.31 million more software units.” Again, agreed. “The hardware guidance is disappointing, and there isn’t really anything that will get hardware moving other than a price cut. I think they got it wrong with this console, it just doesn’t capture the imagination the way that the Wii did.” I disagree. SW will absolutely push the Wii U. Especially if it's a Blockbuster Title. “The Wii U is not going to be very competitive if Sony and Microsoft launch comparable consoles at comparable prices,” I doubt MS or Sony will. “The early weakness will cause many third party publishers to re-think support for the Wii U, and we might not see much support at holiday 2013.” I think Nintendo is used to failing with third-parties by now. It's like their mission. |
