No this is fact. "sold, manufactured, and distributed at a loss." refers to day zero. Nintendo did not make money until they started selling the Wii. They did not make money, by manfacturing, distributing, and Advertising the Wii they made money by selling it. But obviously it cost them money to produce Wiis. Furthermore, you're so caught up in Nintendo's PR, that you cannot even fathom that Nintendo is on the level of earthly companies and has to spend money to make money. That is not an opinion, and if you think that is an opinion, you are not only wrong, but you have zero idea how buisness works. You keep trying to futily tie lost money to courting third parties. When there is a lot more to consider than just money hatting when considering third party relations. Keeping investments low just for the sake of keeping them low is asinine. Nobody with any sense structures investment and purchase of capital that way. Not Nintendo, Not Sony, Not Microsoft, not anyone who has any idea what they are doing. You are just wrong. You aren't concerned with understanding or learning you only care about being right which clearly doesn't make any sense here, because what you believe is clearly divorced from reality. Its clear you have a lack of perspective here because if you had a more realistic one than you wouldn't be desperatly trying to link the PS4's software sales due to money they lost for other reasons. Newsflash, The Wii U is in a very shitty place right now, it wasted a year, its third party is nonexistant, and Nintendo is struggling to convince people that the console would surpass GC sales. Investing in third parties is building third party support, whether it is enticing them with userbase, including hardware in the system comparable to the competition, and even flat out paying them is doing what Iwata said "Building a sustainable relationship with 3rd party publishers". CLEARLY, Nintendo hasn't done any of that. And the only one spouting Opinions here Is you. It is impossible for you to comprehend other wise because your mind is so locked in your own preconceptions that you can't admit any mistakes made by Nintendo. What's wrong with some Nintendo fans today? Wii seriously must have gotten to your heads. Growing up with 64 and GC, I at least knew Nintendo was trying. If you can't admit the problem, there is no way you can think of fixing it. And regardless of what you think, the fact is "PS4's total software sales surpass those of the Wii U", there is no rationale way one could concieve this as a good thing for the Wii U. Rather than defending the Wii U by saying oh, they are doing buisness better because they are keeping their investments low, you could address the problem. Seriously, Its like your physically and emotionally incapable of even comprehending Nintendo making a mistake. Cheerleaders aren't going to help the Wii U get more sales. |
I'll reply to what you've bolded. The rest is just your honest opinion.
1) What do you suppose Nintendo should do besides pay off 3rd parties? This was my original question that no one could answer outside of "pay them"
2) You're not spouting facts, I know that.
3) I can admit Nintendo's mistakes. I do so all the time. I think you have me confused for somebody else. First off, the Wii U is a horrible name for the console. Nintendo dropped the ball by not releasing a steady stream of software for their system, they constantly gave preferable treatment to the 3DS over the Wii U, even though they KNEW the Wii U was struggling. Nintendo hardly ever advertised their games. In fact, they had to lose money for them to realize that they needed to advertise their games. I can go on and on and on.
4) Nintendo is already addressing the problem. Its just a shame it took so long for them to do so.
5) Cheerleading? You're confusing me for somebody else.
