Wii U is now basically the same price as the Wii's $250 price factoring in inflation and has been for a while. And Wii U comes with 2 free games instead of 1. Still no bump in sales. The crowd isn't "bad". The way I've looked at this is like at a nightclub lets say a super hot girl dances with you and has a few drinks with you. It doesn't mean she was ever going to be your girlfriend or wanted to marry you or something ridiculous like that. She just thought you were the "fun guy" for one night, that's all that was. She moved on to someone else the next week ... because that's what the hot girl does. And there's nothing wrong with. On top of the cost issue again ... why pay for something when something else scratches the same itch for free? Nintendo and third parties aren't making these games anymore because no one is buying them, they know they can't compete against smart gaming. |
Except we're not bothering with econmics we're looking at the situation as it played out, Wii was £179 back when the financial crash took place putting many countries in recession, two years later it's around £130 when MK Wii and Brawl arrived after a price cut before eventually being £99 another two years after that. Wii U was 250-300 quid and has stayed at that price through out and even when it launched in 2012 the were still economic problems especially in Europe with the Euro.
Your analogy is poor because it's more closer to you meet a woman, you start taking full care of her and all then you just stop one day, she leaves as a result and you think it's her that was the issue.
Nintendo and third parties aren't making these games because they currently were following a strategy to cater to the cores thinking the group would follow by default. They threw out their old startegies of catering to them with out realizing those were still very much required, that crowd was never going to drop between 250-300 quid even more more so if they're not being catered to. They were driven away by the poor handling.
