Yep. I think some people are overestimating the overall impact its going to make - even considering the excellent games line up for next year. Their two flagship titles for the Wii U; Super Mario 3D World and Wind Waker are already out, and the system is still failing to gain traction on the home console market. While sales are going to improve, with the launch of major releases.. I doubt its going to make that much of an difference tbh. Nintendo spent too long faffing about, that they haven't built much momentum for the Wii U. And now, with the PS4 and Xbox One out its going to have even more competition to deal with. Doesn't help that the 3DS is probably canabalising some of the sales of the console, either. |
Yeah totally agree with that statement (bolded).
It's like they didnt want to get involved in the Next gen battle, but this meant that any games conference they were basically absent, just fell off a cliff, and though I can see why they didnt want to go head to head... just doing nothing was a total mistake and not the right call.
They are appearing on Spike on Saturday, lets hope its not a "New character in wii-u fit" type situation, or a "heres a fireworks display surprise". It will not surprise me if they do a presentation again at E3, which will kind of prove they were wrong to miss out on it. They need to bring games, and I mean lots of games if they want any hope of making the wii-u relevant. I still know people who will buy one once a certain game comes out, but from the sounds of them, they are 1/2 games only buyers, and even though it helps bump up the console sales, it wont help the software sales in the long run.
