Prior the early 1980s crash, replace Nintendo with Atari, and you can see why. How can THE company which was in Blade Runner as being around forever fall to the wayside? Well, as it is now the Wii U is not going gangbusters, and Nintendo's strength is battling against the likes of Android and iOS. Kids are getting smart devices, and handheld game systems secondarily, if they do. Lay out exactly where you see growth for Nintendo in the handheld arena. 3D didn't end up proving a must have feature, so Nintendo just have content that is out to offer as unique IP. On the console side, Nintendo has serious problems if it has to go the route of bleeding red ink to keep up with the jones. Cracks of losing money at launch, which Nintendo tried to battle with with the 3DS, managed to end up failing as they decided to lose money to hang on. First step to being surprised in a negative sense is to presume a past track record is proof of future longevity. Nintendo hasn't faced what it is facing now. And its IPs don't have the draw they used. Zelda is now surpassed by Elder's Scroll, for example. |
you're saying that like other consoles sell at a profit at launch -.-
