| vivster said: 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. |
Is there really a way to prove that console sales (Nintendo's in particular) are mostly from the core fanbase?
I am not convinced that's the reason. To be honest, I think it's a lot more complex of an issue. If it were so simple that someone here could easily come up with some fix just like that, no one would struggle to sell systems.
edit: I only just realized that I'm not completely targeting this to you, but to some other people who use this downward trend to make some kind of point.
