Over dramatic Nintendo is doomed thread #314361

These sorts of threads have been going on for almost two decades now. You can safely hold back those tears young boy and realize that each generation offers new opportunities; and Nintendo's hardware staff is at work devloping the way to best exploit them.

Sometimes they fail, but typically companies do not dominate more than 1-2 generations in a row. Nintendo has about a 50% rate of winning generations.

I guess you missed the decades long fall of their console sales, wii disrupted it and now back to where they were actually they are trending under GC if im not mistaken.   They are on a long path that leads out of hardware, same way atari and sega went.  This industry is not very forgiving and new players enter and rise. 

Its almost a natural progression of leading doing well not so well and out of it, and they are nearing out of it.

They are no where near being out. They have huge cash reserves and literally zero debt, but being a business is about being profitable as much as possible. One thing they do need to  do is to attract a wider audience, the "cores"  and the "casuals,"to sell more consoles (games like SSBU and Mario Kart 8). As of now, they have mostlyattracted Nintendo gamers onto the WIi U, but games like Bayonetta 2 ot X can bring in different people to experience the exclusives the Wii U contains. 3rd Party support has allways elluded Nintendo since the SNES , so the Wii U will not be an exception to that rule.

On the console front they are very close to being out.   And next week PS4 will take their only semi decent market, and this all with out any killer software.  How do some of you see wiiu doing when PS4 X1 actually get some good software, what happens when their biggest franchises start dropping.

Heres the thing, given what they are doing and have show and what they talk about.  They will not attract the core, they refuse to make games that the core wants.  And the casuals are long gone, those fickly bastards are the last thing any one should ever depend on. 

X wont even sale a million units, i think most already know this, it will not save the U.  Its not a game changer why do you expect it to be ? Bayonetta is a franchise whos sales couldnt justify a sequal on PS3/360 so why do you think its gonna make any differance at all on the U ?? its not a best of its genre, its not a strong old franchise with a fanbase.  Its a filler.

Droping price and awseome bundles is the only thing they can do, hit half price of the next choice (4orX) and maybe some sales can be achived.
199 no pad normal controller U with Mario3d and KArt, now that would sale come the 2014 holidays, and by then those games would have been already milked at regular price long past profitable so no huge loss bundeling the fuck out of them.
