The teacher gets to dismiss class...and that is me. While I disagree with the fact that negative press had a huge impact on the Wii's sales, the last point of his argument was that the Wii hurt Nintendo's image in the long run...which is what my argument is about. And as far as I'M CONCERNED, "hardcores" are the people that visit websites like these. The people that go beyond playing the games. This community, along with many other gaming communities, view the Wii negatively, so much so that they basically discredit the fact that it "won" last gen. This negativity has no doubt affected Wii U sales, but Nintendo is steadily winning these people back (and the casuals). My point is, because apparently I have to spell it out for you, is that you CANNOT be so confident that the Xbox One will outsell the Wii U. My argument is slightly based off a point that he made that you failed to address because apparently every argument you get into on this site is a waste of your time. If you don't want to "waste your time", leave, and take your unsupported opinions with you. Class dismissed... |
If anything the WII helped Nintendo's image cause consumers would view Nintendo the winner rather than a loser. What hurt Nintendo's image was making an anti-WII. Someone would have to be clueless to think that the WII U was meant for the "casual gamers" and losing the hardcore crowd was the biggest decline for Nintendo.
What hurts Nintendo most in the long run is making products for a useless crowd that don't buy jack shit. If anything the hardcore gamers don't help Nintendo's bottomline which is their profits and that means a lot for Nintendo staying in business. Sony catering to the hardcore didn't help them in the end either cause they ended up losing money from the PS3. SMDH
But I can be so sure that the Xbox One will outsell the WII U. We have MONTHS of data showing that the X1 is outpacing the WII U. What exactly do you have saying the opposite ?
For a teacher you sure like to avoid bringing up some evidence ... Don't waste my time again.
