Do we need 50 years to declare that Nintendo has problems competing with Sony home consoles? The N64 and GameCube weren't even competetive with the Playstation 1/2, and the Wii U looks like the same exact story. |
Years don't matter when talking about generation sales. Simplified to the amount of console generations that have passed, we are talking about 3 generations. 2 of 3 home consoles, Sony dominated, no question there. Handheld systems, Sony couldn't compete at all. Current generation is still new, we can discuss when the NEXT generation comes along.
The Wii U isn't horribly behind the PS4, granted they are moving systems at a slower rate. Yet with the flagship Mario Kart released today, that gap may shrink. A lot of people have been waiting for games they wanted. Heck, I waited until Ocarina of Time came out before getting a N64, and that was in 1998 (the N64 released in 1996). With another big title, Super Smash Bros coming out later this year, I believe that sales are going to pick up to be competitive.
