| Mummelmann said: Literally the only arguments left against an imminent release of a successor to the Wii U are "That would piss off the fans" and "They haven't said they are doing this and there are still games coming for the Wii U". This whole "They'll SEGA themselves" mentality is nonsense, if they do nothing about the current situation, that will be the only sure path to the grave. |
I have to disagree. Unless they're going for a blue ocean strategy again (yet to be seen), a 2016 release for a home console makes no sense. Who are early adopters going to be? The people who just bought a Wii U or the people who just bought the PS4/X1? They'll be entering a competitive market at its peak of competition, with a tarnished name and probably a disenfranchised core audience who were abandoned on the previous system. The question should really be, whats to be earned by an imminent release? Who is their market going to be and why will third parties support a late thrid wheel?
The current situation is that they're financially stable and have an underperforming home console, thats been the situ for the last 3 years. I don't get why people are acting the Wii U only suddenly became a flop, waiting out bit longer is not going to damage them
