| Pavolink said: I simply can't believe how Nintendo let this happen. From almost 60M devices sold in a year, to less than 20M. Nintendo is clearly the incompetence in a company form. And people get surprised when some of us says 3DS is not doing good? When we don't agree with the attitude to excuse every mistake. Some of us wants to see them doing better and healthy, and all of their decisions since Wii U launch has been disastrous. |
I agree with this.
Nintendo's problem is two things.
1) Marketing
Nintendo's marketing isn't good enough to convince those who are looking to buy a new system. The PS4 has no games, yet it's selling. Not because people are having fun with the system, but because the PS4 is marketed well.
2) Hardware
The hardware has to compliment the software. It can no longer be the condition for playing Nintendo games. It now has to be one of the reasons to buy a Nintendo game. The systems they make have to endorse the social atmosphere. Miiverse is a step in the right direction, but there needs to be more. There needs to be party chat, cross game chat, easier on-screen notifications, easier messaging system, some sort of universal achievement system and etc. These are just things the competition is doing, but things that make the video game hardware needs to exhibit to become more social. Nintendo fails to understand this, and this is why people aren't interested.
