The Xbox One isn't living up to the 360 (not quite at least), the Saturn dropped the ball from the Genesis, and you don't need me to explain the Wii to Wii U transition. |
Ummmmm... and the XBox 360 had an 8 year lifespan, the Genesis had a 7 year lifespan, and the Wii had a 6 year lifespan. If anything, you're showing that it's better to have a shorter lifespan...

It makes more sense to support the new console than to support the one that is already a failure |
You know what it just doesn't make any sense but I believe Nintendo lost its sense anyways as I just checked and the WiiU is 330$ here, that's 20$ less than what I paid for my xbone, hell with the extra game and the 50$ store card the xbone was actually cheaper so yeah Nintendo doesn't make any sense anymore to me. They should have cut the price of the WiiU a while ago.
Still I love the WiiU and its maybe my favorite console of all time but I paid 250$ for a new unit that a guy won, still sealed, at that price its a great system.

Zelda u is scheduled this year and there is no date yet so probably at the 3rd quarter, its impossible for them to do something that stupid. Beside it would be the first time in console history that they stop producing a console at launch of the next one.... |
Huh? It makes perfect sense. Nintendo has little interest in selling Wii U's anymore. They're not producing more software, which means they're not going to make much money off the Wii U's they'd sell. They'd much rather sell you an NX, because they'll be releasing more new releases on it, and have a chance of establishing a much better userbase.
Assuming they're releasing Zelda on NX, it makes far more sense to encourage non-Wii U owning Zelda fans to spring for the NX.
If they are not making Zelda for NX though, then I might agree it's stupid.

They actually make perfect sense. Maybe not in the traditional way other console makers are doing it, but they are making money on each WiiU sold. Why lower the price and lose more money?

If you don't see your system having a bright future, it makes sense to ensure as much money as possible at the initial point of sale. After the first couple of years, building an install base was a secondary priority for Nintendo.

Ok, so your telling me there won't be a Zelda U bundle, why the hell would they call it Zelda U anyways, just call it Zelda X or something else. It would be very bad marketing I believe for them to do something like that but anyways they failed on the WiiU because the damn thing should not be that expensive. This will be the first ever console that would never have got a price cut I believe......

Did you have faith after the Vita came out?

Yeah, after 2014 they must have known that the console just cant be successful.

Usually there's demand though. |
Yea but theres games, EXCLUSIVE games still coming out up until later this year. What are they going to do, axe it as soon as the last game comes out?...
| KLXVER said: They are going to make a new Mario Kart to sell the NX, not keep pushing MK8 on the NX. |
Not near launch they aren't. They'll use other games to sell sell NX and then in two or three years release the last new Mario Kart platform. The NX doesn't need Mario Kart at launch or in the first year to succeed. The Wii U needed it because it had nothing else. The NX will not have nothing else. Next year is too soon for a new Mario Kart, so a new Mario Kart the NX will not get.
