| BenVTrigger said: Whats wierd are the people already discounting this. 1. The console is still massively over priced for Nintendo hardware 2. It has a pretty awful software lineup with no stand outs like a new Zelda, Mario Kart, or Smash Bros 3. Nintendo has dobe an awful job marketing their system. People were predicting huge doom during 3ds furst year as well. Its still way to early to discount any potential sales for Wii U. And for those of you personally invested in this stop being wierdos. Its interesting talking numbers, hardware and trends but theres so much personal FUD in this forum its pathetic |
1. It's only $50 more than the Wii was at launch.
2. Those games will bring decent bumps, especially in Japan, but nothing that will last very long. 2D Marios have always been Nintendo's bestsellers, but they already have one out for it. I'm guessing it's going to be a little while before they have another one.
3. They have. But, when are they going to change? It's been a year from launch and they don't seem too interested in changing things.
3DS was able to turn around. However, Nintendo always does better in the handheld market than they do in the home console one. So far, it seems the Wii was a fluke, looking at their past performances. And the problems with the 3DS were pretty much nipped in the bud after a few months, not years. Even with the turn around, it's unlikely the 3DS will sell as well as the DS, not that it needs to.
