past success's dont matter much when there is a big streak of failure. The WiiU and the company shows to be losing ground to their rivals. they had to take some desperate measures to get back into the green. licensing their IP's to various things just to be profitable again. and of course Amiibo, which is a great business decision, but one has to ask, if they keep losing market share and interest in their main business which is gaming, how long is Amiibo going to last?

their core business, which is making games, is falling apart. their handheld business, while still chugging along, isnt what it used to be. remember that they had to slash one third of the 3DS's price after just 6 months at launch to make it viable. The WiiU was dead on arrival. their relationship with third parties is non existant, their hardware was outdated at launch, and their first party shows no signs of being able to hold Nintendo on thier own. 

This E3 shows exactly just how out of touch nintendo are with their fanbase AND with the gaming community as a whole. the writing is on the wall. nintendo needs to change, nintendo needs to get better, and nintendo needs to improve. if you think im trolling by stating the obvious, well then i guess we are done here. 

No, they can't, they do everything wrong. They are like drug addicts and they drug is called "losing money".

Doomed since 7545 BC

Except Nintendo is profitable.

I agree with bananaking21.

In fact I will go a step further and say they need to hire a white person from the west to run it. Someone who has gotten around all the major 3rd party studios that has friends still there.

That person will be able to open up channels to getting 3rd party support and hopefully some confidence in Nintendo that they know someone is running it who they have worked with well in the last 20-30 years.

It's not game over but they've never been closer to it than right now.
At the time N64 and GC were declining in sales they could count on the growing handled market and they had a very strong reputation in the gaming community.
Right now, both home consoles and handleds are at minimun records, plus with 3DS and WiiU they did a lot to damage their reputation, even within the Nintendo fans community (not to mention their struggle with the developers community).
It's going to be an uphill battle from now on if they want to survive as hardware manifacturers.

what about the wii?

ill call Doc and Marty Mcfly. looks like we gotta ride back too 2006 and live there. 

no but i'm just saying that it's been done before which implies it can be done again

From 1st place to Last place in the console market. While Stays first in the handheld market. Its too far from over for Nintendo.
