| Soundwave said: Nintendo Land, NSMBU, Wii Party U, Mario 3D World, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Scribblenauts, Pikmin 3, Game & Wario, LEGO City, Rayman, Sonic, are plenty easy for any kid to play. The reason iOS/Android is eating Nintendo's lunch is because the games are 99 cents and its making parents reconsider buying a Nintendo console/handheld at all. |
Nintendo makes games for kids. As an owner of a 3DS I can say this positively 100%. Which isn't to say there aren't things in there a mature audience can't enjoy, but that the target audience of its current games are under - I'll say 14 years old.
But I don't agree with the second paragraph. The Wii U is doing horribly because of mistakes on the part of Nintendo - not because it's losing marketshare to mobile. As a matter of fact, if you look at the trend of sales of Nintendo home consoles excluding the Wii - the Wii U's sales are to be expected. It is in line with the decline of sales that Nintendo home consoles have had since the NES.
