| benji232 said: I agree with all of your points. However, what I meant is no one could have seen Nintendo go from selling 100 million wii consoles to barely being able to reach 18-20 million. I believe this is the biggest decline in consoles history. Not even Nintendo themselves or analysts like Patcher could have seen this coming. |
The Wii U is selling in line with Nintendo home consoles trend IF you exclude the Wii.
The error everyone made was to think Nintendo had found the secret stardust that would make everything perform like Wii/DS in the future.
Also believing that the new home consoles business is now 260+ million (wii+ps3+x360). I don't believe that's the case. I believe that #1 The Wii was purchased as a 2nd console by many gamers, and #2 The Wii was purchased by many prior non-gamers which are not goint to be easy to convert into permanent gamers.
So I believe the business is going to be closer to 180 million and getting towards 260 million will be tough.
