The sales don't lie and to me it is looking more and more like the general consumer have largely lost interest in Nintendo home console games, no matter how great they are. You are very lucky to be totally orgasmic over having eight games (or whatever) in 2014. For many Wii U owners that don't care for DK, Bayonetta or Hyrule it is indeed sad. At least I have Project Cars and Watchdogs.. and X but I rather have a choice of much more than eight. Eight games in one year is NOT a great marketing tool if you want to sell consoles. |
But to most people 8 or so games is what entirely makes up their decision to buy a console or not.
There's problems in Nintendo's perception that need to be overcome.
People really want the Wii U. They want 'adult' titles like X and Bayonetta 2, but they know nothing about them. They want a new Mario, but they're stuck on this false belief that Mario is only for 8-year olds. However they don't know about Super Mario 3D World and how good it really is. They know nothing of the other games that make solid appearances on the system.
Instead, people know nothing about the Wii U. And what little they do know is from clickbait, trolling articles and web posts that do nothing but decimate the console with gloomy sales figures, lies, and half-truths.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
