All they need to do is really push the marketing (I have seen no advertising for it what so ever) and crucially release some games. I understand Nintendo wanted to let 3rd party's floruish but they're doing that at cost to themselves. They really should have had at least 2 big games out by now (Zelda & Kid Icarus for example).
Three things.
1) Release more games
2) Advertise
3) Do the above in the holiday season
Stick to the plan they talked about recently--get outside help with promoting 3DS, and release Zelda, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Super Mario, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing before the end of this financial year.
I'm sick of this 3DS doom crap. If it sells poorly come Christmas, when it has what should be system selling titles out, then we can start to genuinely worry about the system.
| Joelcool7 said: Alright so having just come back a few days ago and being embarrased thinking Nintendo sold 3.6-million 3DS networks I am faced with the reality that Nintendo is failing on an epic scale to push the 3DS. I know some spin's have been put that Nintendo intentionally kept marketing to a minimum to allow supply to out strip demand. But whether Nintendo intentionally under marketed and under sold or not they are in a pickle now. The 3DS is loosing weekly to the Nintendo DS its prediscessor, which is really sad. I don't see any 3DS advertising infact in the last few weeks of watching TV I hadn't seen a single ad infact yesterday I was watching G4 and saw that Nintendo3DS was listed as a sponsor for the Canadian Video Game Awards, that was the first ad I had seen in weeks. So their are a couple stumbling block's I have heard brought up. The biggest one I stand by is lack of marketing. But others point to price and season saying not launching in Winter hurt sales. Others will say the lack of software both casual and hardcore. So the question I put forward is what does Nintendo have to do this fiscal year to save the 3DS? WIth NGP coming this winter Nintendo needs a gameplan what is the best one you can think of? |
You know there was another "what nintendo need to do to save the 3DS" thread already posted and this forum really has enough 3DS is doomed threads already.

No actually I didn't know, I've been gone a few weeks and looked back abit and did not see it. Also this is hardly a doomed thread, its talking about what moves Nintendo can do to increase sales to the point in which the system will be seen a success. I'd hardly call that a doom and gloom thread.
It seems these days that everybody cries doom and gloom for everything. This whole Cafe being doomed thing is starting to annoy me. But those threads are talking about how Nintendo will fail. Generally doomed means your talking about Nintendo failing not talking about which moves they need to take to be successful.
Doomed threads usually need a touch of doom in them, not if Nintendo does this they will do amazing. I can't see the logic in saying that such a thread is a doom thread!

The original lyrics were better dude, think about it. 
Tease.
They need 100 million people who buy one or more each.

Going back in time and changing the console's name would help.
The name 3DS gives off the impression that it's just a DS that has 3D capabilities.

I haven't read any of these doom and gloom threads so if I'm saying something that's already been posted, please forgive me.
Remember when the PS1 and Saturn launched? The best selling console that year was the Snes. Remember when the PS2 launched? The best selling console that year was the PS1. Remember when the 360 launched? The best selling console was still the PS2.
Nintendo now has two full fledged portable consoles on the market. One is still selling like hotcakes and the other has backwards compatability but the library isn't too enticing, yet. When the 3DS come into its own, it will do well. In the mean time, like pretty much every generation in the past, an established console with a great library of games, and a user friendly price is going to take the top spot. Right now, Nintendo is its own competition. This is nothing new and nothing that hasn't happend before. You guys aren't new to this, are you?
*this is all from memory, mind you. there may be a couple of exceptions......but I doubt it.*
