| BMaker11 said: Nintendo has been on the decline since it entered the home console market. SNES sold less then NES. N64 sold less than SNES. GCN sold less than N64. Wii was a fluke/outlier, whether you choose to accept it or not, due to the "fad" of motion controls (I've said this time and time again: do you think the Wii, with its library looking awful similar to prior gens, would have sold so much without waggle? They still had your Mario, Zelda, MK, Metroid, etc. The only variable was waggle). Now that the fad of motion controls are over, Nintendo has to once again rely solely on its library, and as you can see, the trend they were following before began to resume with the WiiU. NX will sell even less than WiiU. |
People always try to come up with ridiculous justifications as to why Wii magically doesn't count.
Wii sold on its software. Wii Sports was software, so was Wii Fit. Motion controls are nothing by themselves, it was their application in compelling software that won over the masses.
So no, Nintendo has not been in decline since it entered the home console market, that is incorrect.
