"Nintendo’s family-focused content is losing its appeal as titles were delayed, casual gamers migrate to smartphones and tablets, and hardcore players opt for faster Sony and Microsoft machines. The world’s biggest maker of video-game machines also refuses to offer games with its lineup of iconic characters such as Mario and Zelda on mobile devices, limiting its ability to profit from surging demand by online players."- Bloomberg
"Sony expects to sell 5 million units of the PS4 through March, or more than half of Nintendo’s annual forecast in less than five months. Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Ace Research Institute in Tokyo, forecasts Wii U sales of 6 million this fiscal year.
PlayStation and Xbox consoles are better for playing online games like “Call of Duty” and “Halo” and offer better links to Internet-based entertainment services, said Greg Woods, 50, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
“The Wii U just doesn’t have the games the other boxes have,” Woods said by phone. “Until I can get a Wii U at a much lower price, my next purchase will be a PS4 or Xbox One for myself and my kids.”
Sony and Microsoft’s launches further erode Nintendo’s share of a market it once dominated. The company posted operating and net losses in the year ended March 31, 2012, for the first time since going public in 1962."
