On the console front they are very close to being out.   And next week PS4 will take their only semi decent market, and this all with out any killer software.  How do some of you see wiiu doing when PS4 X1 actually get some good software, what happens when their biggest franchises start dropping.

Heres the thing, given what they are doing and have show and what they talk about.  They will not attract the core, they refuse to make games that the core wants.  And the casuals are long gone, those fickly bastards are the last thing any one should ever depend on. 

X wont even sale a million units, i think most already know this, it will not save the U.  Its not a game changer why do you expect it to be ? Bayonetta is a franchise whos sales couldnt justify a sequal on PS3/360 so why do you think its gonna make any differance at all on the U ?? its not a best of its genre, its not a strong old franchise with a fanbase.  Its a filler.

Droping price and awseome bundles is the only thing they can do, hit half price of the next choice (4orX) and maybe some sales can be achived.
199 no pad normal controller U with Mario3d and KArt, now that would sale come the 2014 holidays, and by then those games would have been already milked at regular price long past profitable so no huge loss bundeling the fuck out of them.

Cut the bullshit.

Nintendo's fine as a company, they need to micromanage less within the company but thats about it.

Relaunch it for $200 with a standard controller, the name Nintendo Ultra (NU), 64GB of storage, a Nintendo Network Overhaul, and a slew of great games. After that just advertise it a ton and I am sure it would reach 20-30 million. Otherwise it's gonna crawl past 15 million and leave them with no momentum to start the next gen off well...

Sounds awesome,
They could call it a new sku and market the fuck out of it, 199 normal controller 64gb hope a really good game or two bundled.

... Just Do It!!!

I have been saying these things for a while.  Sony nearly did the same type of thing and they weren't even doing that bad.  WAKE UP NINTENDO!

One company can't carry a platform on their own.

Go list the PS4 or X1 release schedules and instead of their 3rd party support, substitute in Nintendo's 3rd party support.

Then come back and tell me how you think those systems would sell.

Nintendo never properly addressed the loss of Rare IMO ... the gimmick success of the Wii just shielded them from reality for a few years. 

Nintendo cannot win back third party developers. They already put out the console. All Nintendo can do is keep putting out games and increasing the marketing.

QFT

No they cant which is why they work together with the 3rd parties, why cant ninty ???

A redesign of the gamepad (so it doesn't look like a prototype) is something that needs to be done and drop backwards compatability in order to cut cost, VC is there for backwards compatibility.
Also trying to get casuals back on board is a long shot I don't see those 60+ year olds buying another Wii.
And they should drop all advertising that features Wii motion controllers it only serves to confuse.

When it comes to games it's a bit late for them to fix that. Nintendo had the chance to buy developers (preferably western devs) when they were rolling in cash during the Wii's prime.

If Nintendo had the business mentality to invest in a successful future rather than protect against furture failures ie the huge reserves of cash they horde they would not be in this situation.

^ Things change to quickly , you restructure all your management/talent and you turn into Sony

What NIntendo needs to do? Keep pushing out the WiiU. Its sold 5 million in 2013 alone. They basically sold that doing absolutely nothing. So they gotta push harder
