Is it brilliant business strategy at this point to keep the Wii U on the market any longer? It will likely sell 2.5 million or less next year, probably down to 1.5 million in 2017; they would effectively be obliterated from home console markets and lose all presence and leftover relevance. It would be suicide, let's pray they're not that stupid. Oh, and streamlining production and asset costs to cut expenditure and gain more longterm profits is poor business sense to you? I hope you don't teach economics. They won't shrink; they're re-structuring, for the better at that. Why have 4-5000 people working in two different and demanding boxes, increasing development windows and budgets hugely when you can have the same amount of workers programming and building in tandem with great product output and volume and greatly reduced total budgets? It makes all the sense in the world. I'm sure we'll remember your words next year. PS: Not all companies can "expand and not get smaller and smaller" all the time. Or are you telling me that it was a mistake by Sony to sell their non-profitable departments and fire a large number of employees to survive as a company? The market dictates how a company responds, nine times out of ten, not the other way around. You're clearly not very good at this. |
Man... I hope you don't teach economics either...
Nintendo is dead if they release a new home console next year. Nobody will care for their products. Wii U owners will buy a PS4 and noone is going to buy a NX. These guys learned from the Wii U failure and they won't release a rushed product. Wii U won't see a successor before 2017. Face it.
You will remember my words. Man, I should become economics teacher. Maybe people will then stop talking economic nonsense.
