Forums - Nintendo - So wait, why the heck is there no SSBU bundle?

Out of the 3 consoles on the market, there are 2 very similar regarding what it offers and there's WiiU which is a bit diferente from the others. X1 and PS4 are goint head to head and they need interesting bundles to persuade buyers on their console instead of the other.
I'm not seeing many buyers going for WiiU instead of the others because it's bundled with SSB. Nintendo will capitalize on SSB and I can see them bundle it in early 2015.

They know trying to win more marketshareis a lost cause so they are trying to make as much on every release as they can.


That sounds reasonable enough to me. Nintendo has historically went after profit over engaging in competition. They do seem to be looking squarely at profit this holiday season, without much regard for how they fair against Microsoft and Sony.

It's quite possible that Nintendo moves the fewest units this holiday and still comes out the big "winner" in terms of money made. 

i agree but at some point (def not this fiscal year) they will have to address market share - they have already shrunk significantly as a company since the wii days- they can only shrink so much before it becomesa threat to their operating viability 

Market Share isn't really the most important factor, they just need a healthy install base. Even if their market share is relatively small because XOne and PS4 sell very well, they could still have a healthy install base of say 30 million +. But that's the big problem right know, WIi-U's install base is so small that they miss out on a lot of software sales.



You know what I'd like to see? The return of putting TWO controllers into consoles. Now THAT would be awesome.
