| RolStoppable said: Wow, this is big news. Finally a crystal-clear admission that the Wii U was never intended to be a follow-up to the Wii. I mean, anyone who was able to put the pieces together already knew that, but for a lot of people this will come as a surprise. It's also interesting how much contempt Miyamoto has for the Wii owner who didn't "upgrade" to his beloved 3D Mario and the like. Then he continues by displaying immense denial when he says that Nintendo doesn't need to make games that are different from the ones they made in the eighth generation. Nintendo's financials suggest otherwise. |
Wii U is the Wii successor. Nintendo simply can't compete with Apple and customers who don't care for any kind of real gaming.
Making any type of successor to the flagging Wii brand (which was honestly out of gas by late 2010) was their no.1 mistake.
Should have just made a traditional, straight forward Nintendo console, not another Wii Party/Wii Fit/Nintendo Land in-between machine with poor specs.
Casuals had their 15 minutes of fun with Wii Sports and don't give a sh*t about Nintendo now that they have their games on smart devices.
