It's kinda scary how much they align, on top of the world in 2007, to dire straights 5 years later. Nintendo fans keep exclaiming Mario Kart/Smash Bros will save the company, the same way Blackberry fans used to parrot that serious businessmen can't do work without a physical keyboard on their phone. I have real doubts about this Quality of Life thing that they're probably banking on to save them, especially with Apple seemingly preparing for a huge push into the health/wellness market. |
You're oversimplifying in a number of ways here. They're not banking on quality of life to "save" them, they're just doing it to diversify, to tap into a market that they got lots of money from, but a market that they believe has diverged too far from their core business to be able to reach within their existing and planned future product lines. Neither is their financial situation so dire, largely because they just need to make the Wii U itself profitable, and everything else falls into line (wouldn't be pretty compared to where they were 5 years ago, but it would be in the black, and that's all you really *need* at the end of the day, even if investors hate stagnation)
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
