"Nintendo is in a good position because they appeal to a very wide range of gamers."

So many things wrong

1)Nintendo is in an average position overall. If he's on about wii u, nintendo is in a rubbish position.
2)Appeal to core gamers now. The non call of duty/action games market. They even lost the casual gamers.

The only thing you can confuse with a Nintendo console/handheld is another Nintendo console/handheld



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

RIP Iwata 12/6/1959-7/11/2015

Thanks for all the great memories!

Nintendo is in a great position but they're failing to take advantage of that position. Catering to a large group of people is fine, though it does make it harder to please everyone when the userbase is so diverse. But making games that connect various audiences is one of Nintendo's greatest strengths and a big reason for why Wii U is still a thing after all of the mishaps. They just need to utilise that strength even more!

What about Famiclones?

They are all the same in the eyes of the casual.

I see 3 nintendos, what was your point?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Then what does that say about your competitors beating you in sales by like x5 right about now?

People still expect it to outsell gamecube lol

Honestly I think their market is mostly core nintendo fans in their 20s and 30s.


Then Nintendo really isn't for kids in that case or it is just for man-children lol?



 

Anybody else think it's funny that he said Nintendo competes against things like magazines for people's entertainment? Does he really think people read magazines to entertain themselves?

OMG I've never looked at it like that!? Terrifying lol

l'd say Nintendo systems probably have high gender balance then the others, so I'd give them that.



Wiiu nope, the only reason its even selling is cause it has games that people want, specially Nintendo fans. Hardware wise, it doesn't really have a place considering how low its selling. The 3ds on the other hand, yep, it 100% has a place in the market
