| Miyamotoo said: You are in delusion if you think Wii U failed only because gamepad wasn't popular. There is a reason why Wii U will be worst selling Nintendo console, that's because Nintendo made bloody mess with Wii U, all those mistakes combine effect that Wii U have such a terrible sales not just one single mistake, like I wrote: terrible and misunderstood marketing and name of console, unappealing and unused gamepad, bad timing, high price of console in comparison with competition, weak launch and 1st year title, software droughts, Nintendo invest huge effort in saving 3DS in time they need to prepare launch of Wii U...all that lead to terible sales and terible sales lead to 3rd party completly abonding console in 1st year, at end Wii U becoming worst selling Nintendo console. I dont think NX need to compete with PS4, but definitely will be much more desirable product than Wii U was, because Nintendo will not repeat most of mistakes they made with Wii U. For instance you can bet they will have much good and much better marketing, they will have great launch and 1st year titles, they will not have software drouth like before because of unified platform, they will have more affordable price point, they will have better gimmick than Wii U had (only unified platform and cross play is much better gimmick than Wii U gamepad), they will probably have similar power and arhitecture like X1/PS4 and that means easy and fast multiplatform ports from X1/PS4. |
If the Wii U would had another name it would had sold the same or even worse. But you would know tell me "the new name was a horrible mistake, 100mio users owned a wii and the brand was extremly popular, nintendo should had kept it like playstation and xbox did".
The console is selling bad because of decreasing interest in nintendos home console games.
