| Aielyn said: Kimishima's explanation sounds perfectly believable - he said that he was aware of the likelihood of the Wii U not selling as well as the Wii, and they interpreted that to mean that he saw something wrong with the Wii U... but his actual view was that the Wii was so popular, it would be hard to get people to shift away from it. Even if he believed otherwise, there's just no way he'd actually say something in an interview that suggested something wrong with what Iwata did. |
Well, they made it pretty easy to shift away from the Wii by letting the support die a whole year before the launch of the Wii U. The problem was: people shifted away in all directions: some to PlayStation, some to Xbox, some to PC, some to handhelds, many to smartphones and tablets, some to other entertainment sectors than video games and only a few to Wii U.
Perhaps they should have channeled the"away-shifters" better in the desired direction. ;)
