Agreed. Nintendo's problem is creating addictive games that keep you coming back for more. Once you conquer a Nintendo game that's it, I likely won't play it again.

wonderfulmonkeyman3752d ago

Speak for yourself; I still regularly go back to many, if not most, of the Nintendo games I've owned despite having cleared them.

"Why are the sales and fanbase (Data seems to suggest and support) of Nintendo dwindling?"

Just like to point out that Nintendo's exclusives on the WiiU - the 'dead console' - are outselling the exclusives on the PS4 and XOne.

(What i love most about this comment is i can hear the furious tapping of keyboards as people rush to vgchartz haha)

Care to back that statement up with real (and not pulled out of your ass) sales figures from like, say NPD?

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3751d ago (Edited 3751d ago )

The facts are there.
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/...

Mario Kart 8 sold 7.24 million pcs.As of December 31, 2015.

That about over 60% the entire install base.

Looks like my arse is giving out knowledge and you're just talking through yours! :D

alti3752d ago

when did n4g become the home of amateur nintendo news?

Dubaman3752d ago

Ever since that amateur 'news' realised it could get tonnes of hits on N4G, if it was negative towards Nintendo and to a lesser extent the XOne.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi90d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer91d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot91d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno91d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay90d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno89d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK89d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
