Forums - Nintendo - CNN Money: Wii on the wane, companies see sales slowing

megaman79 on 09 May 2009

I refer this reporter to evidence from Nintendo as to why Wii drops in japan don't actually mean drops in US and PAL. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=71891&page=1

Its clear that Iwata knows what he is talking about, its his market expansion project after all.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

in this generation no one can go down 1% without the experts shouting is doomed, amazing, first ps3 is doomed, then 360, then ps3 again and now is the wii.

RADHA, PS3 and 360 are more doomed than WII. Now without bad jokes, the slowdown for WII and others systems is not just a consecuence of econimic crisis, is result of earlier sales, is logic a slowdown after most of the people interested already have a console, whatever this be.

Now, Is Nintendo gonna make major releases on the E3? I don't know, they have 3 weeks to proof it.

Well, if gaming companies wouldn't make shitty games for the consumers to buy and put the same effort as they do for the HD consoles, maybe sales would be higher for the Wii.
I won't worry about that. The game and effort for the wii is getting on par to what we see on the HD consoles. But it was ridiculous at first.

If Nintendo is Doomed.... what the F**k does that say about Sony and MS?
