NINTENDO’S FUTURE CALLED INTO QUESTION AS WII U SALES PLUMMET

[VladTheImpaler]

Wii U sales, January 2013: Wii U sales reportedly under 100,000 | BGR

Could the abomination that is the wiiU screw over Nintendo?

LOL People are happy Nintendo is flopping while being happy for paying overpriced Sony products and malfunctioning M$ products. First industry where quality is destroyed because of brand loyalty.

Nobody is happy that Nintendo is flopping, but them being successful with the WIIU would have been bad for real gamers

maybe now those nikkas will put their shyt together


Though not really, I mean they basically have to ride with this console for a min of 5 more years, by then it might be over if its not already

Sony ain't gonna dominate like the PS2 days again with the PS4. Regardless of what the Big N does with the Wii U.

Does it matter? its almost guaranteed that Ps4/720 are gonna run the next gen like they did this one, and Nintendo wont have those casual gamer bux to fall back on like they did with the Wii.

playing mario on the ps4 just wouldnt feel right......

Not going to happen. Ever.

Shoulda just made a straight-forward console, instead of some HD Wii bullshyt

I was ready for that reveal to be something that would make me dump M$ to return to my roots

Nintendo will figure it out. In fact I have a feeling they are working on something huge. It won't be a home "console" either

nikka this isn't 1996 anymore

Nintendo and quality does not belong in the same sentence

Sony and Microsoft have both been putting out better quality products for two, soon to be three generations straight

And the ps3 was not overpriced, expensive, yes, but how the hell can a system that cost 900$ to make and sold for 600$ be overpriced? Besides that was 7 years ago.

Nintendo began creating gimicky, casual friendly bullshyt, that catered to people that had no interest in video games in the first place and that's why they are failing, this is what happens w hen you abandon your fan base in favor of nikkas that want simple cellphone quality, shovelware games.

I said this in another thread, ps2 dominated cause it had no real competition, Xbox and GameCube both sold under 30 million when the ps2 dominated, of course that won't ever happen again cause Microsoft is real competition now, they split the market share damn near right down the middle.

Nintendo still makes AAA games tho. I don't agree with their gimmicks, but their games are still great.

I want Wind Waker HD

Mario galaxy was great, even tho I feel like The second (while better that the first) was almost the exact Same game.

Metroid prime series was dope even if the first two were a lot better than the third, the wii controls is the only thing that made that game fun, seriously, play the first two with wii controls and tell me I'm wrong.

The last Zelda game was shyt. The one before tried to be a darker oot

Nintendo can make AAA games when they want to but that hardly ever happens.
They rather make new super Mario bros 15 and a bunch of rehashed remakes of their old games ( Kirby, donkey kong country, punch out, etc.)

How come we can't get a real game from those series, shyt donkey kong 64 Is the last time they actually gave a damn about that character.

A lot of people felt burned by how much of a gimmick the Wii turned out to be so they're gonna stay away this gen, but that's the cost of business when you primarily make casual gamers your highest priority; they're fickle and just like one singer is hot today then can never sell again, they'll do anything like that.

They shouldn't have called it the Wii U. That alone cost them some sales from casuals

Its amazing that they still have no major releases for this console. Monster Hunter will temporarily stop the bleeding, but they're gonna be hurting until September.
