What I Think Nintendo Will Do To Improve the Western Market

They are going to have to adapt to how people's lifestyles have changed now, or they can become irrelevant. I think it's dawning on Iwata already. 

3DS has to be replaced at some point anyway, a tablet in 2015 can coexist with a 3DS for a couple of years with the 3DS being $99-$129 and severing the budget market for the last couple of years of its life cycle. 

Wii U's just been a disaster from the day 1 unveiling which was underwhelming. It's a giant miscalculation on Nintendo's part and no, Mario Kart isn't saving that trainwreck. 

 

 

Mario Kart is one of the highest selling franchises of all time, and this new entry looks HD enough and fresh/inventive enough that it has people excited for it, not just "oh that's cool".

No one game is going to "save" any console. But Mario Kart 8 is sure as fuck going to make a major difference. Take that to the bank.
