Soundwave said: I think Nintendo will do something with the Wii U-NX to ease the transition. Like maybe Wii U owners get a free game when they purchase an NX. That would go a long way to easing any bitterness. At some point too, I think Wii U owners have to grow up a little bit. Nintendo is a business and has to do what's best for the company. Writing off an entire fiscal year, not being able to make dividend payments to stockholders, missing your profit targets, having your stock price suffer just so a group of Nintendo fans who are stomping their feet and insisting on no new hardware until they get their Animal Crossing and Metroid just isn't a sane way to run a business. Nintendo needs NX out quickly so it can start an upturn in revenue and profit for Nintendo, and new hardware takes time to build momentum too (the first 6 months is usually a write off), so it would be more like Nintendo writing off two full fiscal years if they don't launch NX soon. |
nintendo is not just a business, they are 100 years+ old. they know that the things you suggested are stupid in the long run.
if you plan for more than 10 years than quality and the satisfection of your costumers is more important than dividend payments or stock prices.
