| Frequency said: You are very much deluded, if you think the delay of japanese launch until february is a 'big mistake' you clearly have poor understanding of japanese culture, when it launches here it will do extremely well, when console preorders were opened they were filled entirely, in less time than anywhere else it was launching.
But dont take my word for it, you will see if for yourself in february. Nintendos home console for this generation is destined for last place, its clear from nintendos actions that they plan to stick with handhelds and move in to the casual mobile market, so the focus on whats left of the wiiu is going to shift to a point where its all but abandoned, just like many a nintendo home console before it.
But again, dont take my word for it, you will see it yourself over the next few months.
Nintendo will always be relevant in videogames, but the wii was basically the last stand in the livingroom, i'll be genuinelu surprised if they make another home console. |
I wouldn't take much stock in pre-orders. That's launch stuff.
3DS was the most pre-ordered console in Amazon UK history. 3DS pre-orders DOUBLED amount of pre-orders Wii had.
Amazon Preorders Make the 3DS King of the Jungle
3DS Preorder Number Doubled the Wii's Preorders
What happened afterwards? It dragged. I don't take launch period stuff that seriously.
It's what you do in the long term that makes a console successful not just the short term introductory period.
Study videogame history in depth to understand my point of view.
Sony & Microsoft will leave this game business before Nintendo will.
You can take that to the bank.

P.S.: No such thing as 'casuals'. That's a bad framework that'll lead you to misreading the business.
