Some good suggestions. But Nintendo is already giving us great games and the Wii U is still not selling well. They need to do something else. Maybe another price cut.


Wii U's fate is set. Nintendo needs to just support it as best as they can until their next console, not cut the price and go back to taking losses.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I always thought the keys to winning was the same for all 3: most exclusive announcements that are total surprises.

That is how the internet nerds calculate it.

Winning e3 is about making the public buy the console. To do that, you need to convince them that your console is what they want, right now. Not a year down the road, not in two years...now. Many consumers just hold off until a franchise they like gets announced.

For example, ff13. That was a megaton because it told all the consumers interested in x360 (but holding off), and all the 360 owners that, yes, the rabid ff following does NOT have to buy a ps3. It was a major blow which basically made consumers say "360 is cheaper and has the games I want". Same thing happened with gta4. Those two losses really pushed sony back.

It isn't the announcement that wins the conference. It's what it means to the consumer.

Like how sony won the "hardware announcements". It told consumers everything they needed t know. You want the games, all of them, our console is developed BY the developers. Every developer is in our pocket, every indie is onboard, everyone is excited. This system is going to knock your socks off. AND it's cheaper with better hardware. At that point the consumer decision is made. THIS is the superior console. Usually consumers wait a few years until the content comes out and they flip back and forth, and wait on price, etc. But this time the message was so clear. Affordable, powerful, dominant.



Sony needs to keep momentum going and get people to stop saying "PS4 haz no gaemz 1111".

Microsoft needs to kickstart momentum and finally give a clear direction for the console. Stop changing things, pick a path and stick with it.

Nintendo needs to remind everyone that the WiiU still exists and is a competitor with the other consoles.

What the heck prof!

 

EDIT: As much as I hate to admit this (as a 360 owner), yeah. They shouldn't focus on the 360, at all.

I wonder why none of these companies hired you. Probably because you declined to stay unbiased on VGC.

I rewrote the OP, fyi. But, what do you mean "declined to stay unbiased"? Is there something in the OP that's inaccurate?

(And yeah, they don't hire me, they just steal my ideas instead)

No worry, it was just a general thing.

What I meant was that your ideas are so great that they should hire you but you would've declined because you want to stay unbiased for the forum.

I mean who would believe anything from you if you worked for one of the big 3 ;)



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

But then people will complain that MS abandoned the 360 just like they did with the first Xbox.

Well, I would love if they focus on the 360, but that would only hurt Xbox One.
