Why Nintendo is in a Stump

I don't think Wii U failed. It just performed on curve with the dwindling core Nintendo fanbase. The success of the Wii just makes it look like a failure but we all know that was just the motion casual accident that helped it perform way above its actual potential. The Wii just gave people a false sense of the actual fan power Nintendo had and the Wii U fixed that.

NES - 62m

SNES - 50m

N64 - 33m

GC - 22m

Wii - 17m (casual adjusted)

Wii U - 14m

Looks like a fine curve to me. Wii U's numbers aren't the problem, people's expectations are.

Damn, I guess Nintendo should simply cancel the NX since it'll sell worse than the WiiU no matter what!

Not if they add another gimmick that sells well. Like non-vegetable based hardware or 3rd party games.
