| trestres said: My thoughts? Nintendo has already abandoned Wii U development of SW and will space out their releases in a much more disgusting manner. Meaning, that we might only see what has been announced or unannounced and in the works until now, but they will not embark on any new projects. So they will need to space their releases a lot. We could get 5 games per year, which is TERRIBLE. They will probably support the console until Q1 2016. After that, I fear that it'll be the end of home consoles for them. And It will mean that they lose their most loyal fans forever, as a serious console cannot die in less than 4 years. They will not waste any more money on this. If QOL is a success, we might even see Wii U go away even sooner. I can't seem to remember a more terrible drought than this one. Third parties are already gone and they won't come back. Investors will push for the death of the console. Wii U owners will never buy another home console from Nintendo at launch. Sad to see Nintendo sink, but stubborn companies deserve this. Annoyed because people who put their trust and money on them have been lied to and scammed. |
I wouldn't go as far as to say that Nintendo will never release another home console and all that stuff but they flubbed the Wii U and HARD. I'm extremely pissed about all this and I won't buy the next Nintendo console at launch unless they provide a 3D Mario or Zelda at launch alongside the console. Nintendo showed me they can't be trusted with the home console front.
Now as for the end of the Wii U, I think it will be replaced in 2017 or 2018. Which is less than time the 360 and PS3 were replaced. 5 years is pushing it but 6 is acceptable and I think Nintendo knows it.
Iwata has to go. He did his part with the Wii and DS. He did an amazing job but this is unacceptable. He needs to take action or accept that he is no longer fit for the job because this is becoming pathetic and embarrassing.
