Similarly, Nintendo needs to continue building the Wii U library, as well as trying new ways to attract the gamers flocking to the PS4 and Xbox One, whether it's a change in marketing strategy, console redesign, or some other manner. Don't get me wrong, Nintendo has intellectual properties that have potential to incredibly boost console sales, but I don't think a single game is enough. |
Great post, it is games that sells systems. Wii U library already has a fair few gems and it seems there are plenty on the way this year too. The stronger and more diverse the library becomes, the more chance of enticing more people to purchase. One game can in theory attract more attention to your system (like MK8 seems to be doing), but you need that strong library to back it up, and further convince people to take the plunge.
