Who cares if Nintendo sales stay stagnant? 100 million hardware and 500 million software is no number to scoff at. Let's also consider that from fiscal year 1991-2006, Nintendo averaged about $1 billion annually. As long as Nintendo has a large enough install base to sell Nintendo IP to and is making consistant profits than they are fine. |
But they have not been making constant profit- they did for many years but the last 3/4 years they have been losing money and this gneration they won t make it to 100 milion/500 million- So if they stay at the Wii U/3DS levels they will contine to lose money- if they drop from those levels it will get ugly quick - I think we both want them to continue to make the quality console and handheld games they always have but if they dont do someting to change the trajectory they have been on they will start putting more resources in other areas, perhaps like mobile or some other areas and even less in the console market/games
I would rather see them invest a bit more of their money to thrive instead of using it to survive - If they had committed to the type of Wii U possibilties they talked about pre launch, incluinding doing better w 3rd parties, the Wi U could have been amazing and sold far better but they just were not willing to comit the resources to it
