Total:169

Well, It's clear that for the year WiiU had the market to itself expectations were not met (far from it).

 

EDIT: the second option of the poll should've been Adding more 1st party studios (as in buying independent studios)

 

So, to remedy the situation,where do you think Nintenod should invest most (compared to current situation):

- Expanding their own development studios

- Adding more 2nd  1st party studios (like Retro and Monolith)

- More collaboration projects with 3rd party studios (like Bayonetta or Metroid other M)

- Moneyhatting 3rd parties for (timed) exclusives or even multiplat releases on WiiU

- Marketing

- Price cut

- Shift more focus to hanheld and abandon WiiU for this generation

- invest into next gen console and kill off WiiU (way) early

- Other

Retro and Monolith are first party studios.



Moneyhatting, totally.



The first three in the poll.



1. they are already doing that.
2. Doesn't that relate to 1?
3. SSB being made by Namco. They are doing just that.
4. Don't want to see the money wasted.
5. Increased marketing wouldn't hurt
6. Its the only console to offer free online. I don't see how a price cut is needed. It offers so much more than PS4 out of the box, you'd spend nearly 1k to match capabilities.
7. That doesn't make any sense at all
8. Doesn't make sense. they already have a next gen console. Just because some fans of other console don't like even though they don't know the specs doesn't mean its a bad console.

Ofcourse they are doing the first three. The question where should they increase the investment most.

I'd have to say better marketing.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

they should focus on a relaunch this holiday
and big ads everywhere of upcoming system sellers



1 and 2 are almost the same.

They should grab their money and make a system really compeling with out of this world media offerings, that trully revolutionizes, even if they gotta take a hit for that. they got the money.
