Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo: “We Haven’t Been Targeting Children Enough” Update: Beware semantics

I wouldn't trust a child with a gamepad to be honest



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Oh dear. They are missing the concept that children want things targeted at adults. This could get bad. We could see a Gamecube 2.



Nintendo is back.



Don't target kids hard enough, Nintendo 90% of your audience are kids. Trust me, their not the problem.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

I don't know what that means. If Nintendo isn't kid-friendly then who is? Who are most of the games they've made for the Wii U aimed at?

Maybe this only means advertising. Perhaps it's even relative to Japan and not the rest of the world. If I remember right, the Mario 3D commercials had a famous adult actress in Japan but a bunch of ratty children in the American version. Maybe they want ratty children in all versions?

Perhaps Yarn Zelda is just around the corner?

It's worse than a Gamecube already in terms of a failure.

If you mean however a GC as in a kid's console, not even the GC was succesful at it, so Wii U may have just became the shovelware dumping arena. Much like the Wii was, albeit Wii had some very good games (Both first and third party) to go along the hoardes of terrible shovelware that populated the system.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Can we just edmit that gamers like us aren't Nintendo's focus. There's more money to be make in the casual and kids audience compare to us. They change guys, and we have to accept it :/

You know, I'm no analyst, but it honestly seemed to me like children were the one demographic they WERE targeting enough.
