Although it's pretty good on home console that mario kart 8 has almost sold 5m on a small installbase,matching games on a far bigger installbase,do you agree?

Mobile have done the damage that it  could do,they can't do further...Mainly,because smartphone market is reaching the total saturation and mobile games have an ephemeral success(This is a problem for Nintendo in its mobile venture,but I'm optimistic!)So some people can't stick to mobile as they get bored with these games!:P


Are you trying to say that's anything decently good about the Wii U's performance? PS4 and X1 are running circles around it. The sales are beyond terrible. Your install base claim is also ridiculous. We know that game sales won't scale up with install bases. Halo games sold 9M on XB with 24M consoles and its 360 sequels did 12M peak with 80M+ consoles. I was definitively expecting 36M sales for each one of them.

What we can take from this is that MK8 sold 5M units while the previous games sold 35M. That one hell of a drop.

Mobile isn't even trying to compete with handhelds yet. If something like Tegra K1 with full console ports becomes a thing and we start to see decent controller support, things will get nasty for handhelds.

The question about Nintendo's irrelevance isn't related to sales. It's related to influence. What MS and Sony do or don't do changes the industry. It's on the news. What Nintendo does isn't important anymore. They create hardware for themselves and that's it. It's a separate world. The whole concept of a home console is being a device with fixed specs that provides APIs for devs to create games for it. Since the beginning, Nintendo saw 3rd parties as competitors and tried to screw them with older SDK versions, insane hardware designs, etc. They are the worst business partner because they are, simultaneously, a competitor and the owner of the enviroment.


Nice attidude...You could be calm as I am, behave to me as I behave to you!Yeah it's impressive for me selling 5m on 9.3M+...36M+ MARIO KART WII on 101m...So what do you say here?The drop is expected,wii and ds are out of comparison apparently!Weird,there's nothing positive about nintendo?Oh :O doom since 1889?

Please be cautious,it does not harm!Would you like to have a bet with me about the thing you said about the handhelds?There are already these kinds of things!There won't be games that Nintendo handhelds have,so you know...There is no further damage that can be done!My opinion,your opinion but don't present it like being a hard fact!
