| FunFan said: If this is truth, I want Nintendo to publicly admit they dropped the ball on WiiU hardware. I don't think they have admitted this yet, have they? I remember that Iwatta ask where they pretty much proudly listed all the WiiU mistakes, but had never admitted them as such. Their confidence almost had me fooled, but thanks gaf for their chip pics. |
They have, implicitly...
NX release date announcement in April, only two game releases after that.
Wii production curtailment and later the premature ceasment, at least for Japan, even though it hasn't been halted yet, but its about to stop soon...
They stopped selling gamecube in the first quarter of 2008... Gamecube and wii u sales are almost the same in their year before being replaced ( albeit, that will change in holidays quarter, unless Nintendo exceeds a lot their shipmens forecast, which is essentially a production forecast ) , with difference of wii u still being overpriced/expensive and gamecube dirty cheap since its second/third year....
Perhaps kimishima has a different opinion from Iwata...
Μy theory about all these, regards switch price and the inability of Nintendo dropping significantly wii u's price. ;)
