| Miyamotoo said: No exatly same thing: -SNES was best selling console of that gen -N64 was second best selling Nintendo console of that gen -GC was worst selling console of that gen, far behind PS2 and around 10m behind Xbox. But point is that after GC Nintendo changed strategy that left them to their best selling console ever. -Wii easily best selling Nintendo console, with 101m. -Wii U curently around 13m, LT most likly around 14m. Huge drop from previous 101m, easily far worst selling console this gen. Same like they done after GC, Nintendo will definatly make some big changes and strategie in order to have much more popular product after Wii U. To be clear, I dont expecting that NX will have neary similar numbers like Wii, but I am 100% conifident that will sell much better than Wii U (like you wrote, it's unrealistic that Nintendo will make anything that will sells worse than that, I dont think they could do that even if they want), I relly dont expect less than 20m in worst case. Its way to early to guess what sell numbers will NX have, but if only Nintendo adress huge mistakes they done with Wii U (all points they doing that) like terible and missunaderstood marketing, weak launch and 1st year lineup, unapiling gamepad, not competitive price...NX could have sales 20-50m. |
So what if the SNES was highest selling? It still sold worse than its predecessor. So what if N64 was second highest selling? It still sold worse than its predecessor. Why does that matter at all?
What do you think Sony cares more about? Selling 100 million PS4s or selling more PS4s than Xbox Ones? I'll let you figure out the obvious.
To put it in another perspective: If the Wii U sold 13 million, and the PS4 sold 10 million and the X1 sold 8 million up to this point, the Wii U would be considered a success and people would be saying Nintendo shouldn't need to change much of anything with the NX? Of course not.
