Regardless, I don't think that what it's the "Year of" really matters to anyone except hardcore gamers on the Internet. It's just better if we get a focus something that isn't Mario-related. We all love Mario and NIntendo's platfromers, but if they become overused then people will start to get bored and the games will lose their selling power. Nintendo's made fantastic games in many other genres and has many other IPs; they just have to use them. I think it will pay off for them in the long-term. |
A price drop would help but it should be so big that it makes no sense anymore to produce the Wii U. So it's an option but it wouldn't make so much sense because casual gamers do not buy so many games and that means Nintendo wouldn't earn any money with the Wii U.
I just think that the "Year of..." advertisement is better than the normal really bad advertisement made by Nintendo or do not advertize in general in a way that the people still don't know things like the Wii U exist.
Of course they could do so many great things and games with their other IP's but Mario is more successfull than Metroid or so and that is the problem but with this philosophy Nintendo loses the fans because I personally don't know if I would buy another Mario-console. I am still waiting for Metroid for Wii U.
I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?
I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.
