Hate, there's no hate for Nintendo, just wrong business decisions



Around the Network

Welcome to the interwebz.



Currently own:

 

  • Ps4

 

Currently playing: Witcher 3, Walking Dead S1/2, GTA5, Dying Light, Tomb Raider Remaster, MGS Ground Zeros

Saddens me to see a Nintendo system in this situation, but for both the One & ps4 to outsell the WiiuU in a matter of days, theres good reason for alarm bells to be ringing.

I wish third parties would support Nintendo more, becuase at the end of he day, i would pick a WiiU over a one/ps4 everytime if the 3rd party support was as heavy as it is on the other 2 systems.



I don't think even they thought the plummet would be this drastic, so no.

On the other hand, Nintendo apologists masqueraded a decade old port and an obscure RTS from the Gamecube as system sellers, and have continued to downplay the 3DS and PS3 respective first years into these realms as some sort of false reassurance.

I dunno but from a business point of view Wii U is not overly successful and at the end its all about shareholder value. When a platform doesn't seem to reach a critical mass instalment base its hard to sink more money. Nintendo may be a company dedicated to gamers with heart and soul, but as I said before shareholder can easily be a person who absolutely hates everything about games and he/she only wants to have a profit from their investment.
I saw it coming, don't get me wrong not that I wanted Wii U to be a disappointment, but worst console launch ever I think:
1. Wrong name
2. No Advertising at all, why??
3. Deadly launch window, should've been released at the same time as the other big consoles
4. Specs are not next gen
5. You believe this tablet controller is innovative and special. Developers believe in Profit and not Creativity first, which means nobody has the will to really develope content for the innovative concept
6. Second screen does not support many games, thought first, every game could  be played on the tablet controller while somebody else's watching TV
7. You guys say Halo, Gears, Forza, I say Mario, Zelda, dunno
Every successful console is good for us, but Wii U is doomed as the definition of Doom

1. Yes.

2. They're advertising now, but they should have months ago.

3. Yes.

4. No. There shouldn't be three similar consoles on the market at the same.

5. Except Nintendo. That's the reason they made it in the first place, the incorporate ideas they had for their games that weren't possible on Wii.

6. Lots of games after launch support Off-TV

7. You say Mario, Zelda, dunno, and I say Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, Smash Bros., and Metroid.

The stock isn't big enough for it to happen. Even Sony thinks so.

No, it's because the wiiU is a piece of garbage that nintendo is trying to sell to consumers.
