Barring a never seen before turnaround in sales, Nintendo will completely lose all good will with retailers, third parties, media, shareholders and consumers (and I don't mean Nintendo fans, I mean the millions of people the system is targetted at). You see mainstream sites like CNET telling consumers to stay far away from the Wii U this christmas. Imagine what four more years of articles like that will do to consumer perception of Nintendo. Third parties have already stopped developing for the system, in four years time they'll have no interest in supporting whatever Nintendo do next. I'm aware I am probably coming accross as some moronic Nintendo hater, but I really do love the company. I still think they're capable of creating the best games out there. But I can't accept this "oh well, they can't do better so just let it rot out there" attitude. If the Wii U is REALLY the best Nintendo can manage in 2013, it's time for them to accept they need to become a third party developer. Personally I think they are capable of SO much better and would like to see them drop this dud and aim for something to keep the company relevant. Four more years of this is not sustainable. |
But like I said they have yet to release the majority of there big selling franchises, for the first 10 months of Its life it relied almost entirely on 2D Mario which is a system seller but can only do so much on its own. I understand and agree that they had a very shitty 2013 but i strongly believe most of that had to do with its terrible drought.
Its like if PS4/One didnt have Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassins Creed, FIFA, Madden at launch and relied mostly on Killzone/Infamous or Dead Rising/Forza for the first 10 months then how well do u think they would sell and would u say Sony/Microsoft should abandon them?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
