It's official, Nintendo is completely clueless.

How? This isn't only directed to you but everyone. Coming by and dropping the "facepalm" or "clueless" doesn't say anything but the inability to form an argument. 

The fact is the strongest sales of games of nintendo systems tend to be family friendly. Back during the GameCube days nintendo made lots of hardcore games, who bought them? Nobody. On wii was metriod selling any units? Nope. GameCube highest software sales were from family games. Get a clue guys he objectivly screwed up by not releasing games in the beginning that marketed to this. His job should been to get some of the market of the wii. Which should have been a 250 system with family games like mario kart. 

 

Its like you guys think only one type of market exist and if you  don't follow it you have no market. This why you are not qualified to run a business because you guys have narrow view of business.

Because they've been doing nothing BUT targeting children. Have you seen the recent WiiU ads? Here they are:

Nintendo has a huge image problem in that they're seen as the "kiddie" console. Microsoft and Sony have done a great job over the years by making Nintendo's platform seem like something only children should buy. How many teenagers get together to play Call of Duty on their WiiUs?  The big N hasn't exactly done a lot to fix their imaging problem. Marketing primarily to kids is a stupid idea considering kids are getting more and more into smartphones and tablets. The WiiU won't be able to survive with just kids buying it. 

 Heh. The ratings and comments are disabled.. I wonder why.
