I'm sorry, I was under the impression that you paid attention to the videogame industry and as such had a rudimentary grasp of how this generation started. Since you don't, I suggest using the wonders of Google and search for how Nintendo was positioning the Wii U before and at launch. Nintendo's tag line back then was that the Wii U would be a deeper wider experience than the Wii, and what they meant by that was that they had designed a machine that would carry over momentum from the Wii and also appeal to the core market (that is what 'a deeper experience' meant). The direct result you can easily verify by looking up the games available at launch for the Wii U. Nintendo launched without a single of these Mario spinoff games you pretend is dominating the platform, instead it was flodded with third party 'core' games that predictably were as shit as third party games usually are. This was calculated move from Nintendo, aimed to let third parties take advantage of the new platform and the payoff was that people didn't buy that shit, and didn't want the Wii U either once they realized there wasn't much Nintendo software to get for it. It was stupid to try to go after the core market and they are still trying to recover from it. Trying to appeal to the core market is not a good idea for Nintendo, what the hell could they possibly stand to gain from it? The 'core' crowd moves in a herd and they have no insentive to move to Nintendo. Nintendo's own software shits up and down anything any thrid party has ever created both in sales and revenue so it would be absolutely retarded to abandon that to chase a hostile market. What Nintendo shoudl do is deliver their particular flavor of gaming and try to expend it to as many people as they can, blue ocean and yes 'core' gamers if they can be bothered to stoop down to the baby level of gaming that puts emphasis on fun. What they shouldn't do, and I mena ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT DO, is throw their hat in with the turdfactory that is know as the 'AAA' game producers and try to squeeze out marketshare from the people who goes after that kind of experience. There is no way they can win with that strategy. No way. |
Everything avalaible on U launch.. is what exactly, PS3/360 ports some old and lacking dlc ? awesome core support there.
Mario was a launch title and bundled as was Ninty land. If they wanted core they would have launched with a Metrois or zelda.
There is no way they are winning with whatever strategy they are using now, no way. God forbid they made a legit console aimed at the core and put up the franchises needed to bring them in. Underpowered console with a gimmick controller and 1st party offering that is Mario reliant and platformer and old gen 3rd party ports is not core support. Zombie was the only legit core game for the u.
