dongo8 said: I'm on more of the crowd side that says Nintendo's Wii U is not done yet. Remember the unbearable first couple of years that Sony trudged through with the PS3? Or more recently, what Nintendo themselves went through with the 3DS? They turned that mess around, I think that they will be capable of turning this mess around. I'm not ready to call it a failure because I have seen over the years what is possible with Nintendo and how they conduct themselves. The Wii U may not exactly be selling a LOT of systems, but it IS selling at or very near a profit, so they still make money with each one that they sell. They are an intelligent business, and if any one company can turn this thing around, Nintendo is that company. |
The 3DS was "turned around" within 5-6 months.
No system gets turned around this late in the game. Even the PS3 was selling much better than the Wii U by this point in its lifecycle.
Nintendo actually isn't that great at turning around consoles either, all of the N64, GCN, and even Wii lost momentum as they went along in their lifecycle, all three pretty much were wheezing like a fat kid trying to get up a set of stairs by the generation end.
