Does Nintendo need a new console?

The Wii has sold over 20 million consoles and taken the world by storm. It brought Nintendo back from the literal brink of demise but sales are slipping. Is it time for a sequel?

well i dont think it would be needed but it would be welcomed. from a gamers standpoint, yes. most people would want an hd console with the works. from nintendos stand point i dont think they are trying to rush a new console out the door. unless the wii starts dive bombing in sales i expect the wii to be around for a few more years. the sales are slipping but they are so far in the money its ridiculous. they are still selling consoles, not as much as they were, but still selling just fine. i wouldnt mind a new nintendo console but honestly im not ready for any console in general. just not yet at least. unless (by some god forsaken miracle) sega made a console. i would drop everything to buy whatever they made hahaha. but seriously i still need time to catch up on the back log across the board for all systems before i buy something new.

Yeah, give the pockets a few years to refill.

zeal0us5549d ago

Nope what it needs is more 3d party developers releasing decent titles, Nintendo seem to be the only one releasing good titles.

more online gaming and some new features

*note I said "seem" and not "is"*

shanesgc5549d ago

Seems that way because 3rd party titles do not sell on Wii. Doesn't it seem odd to anyone that Nintendo announces a new console every 5 years and they have almost nothing announced for Wii this year?

plb5549d ago (Edited 5549d ago )

Nintendo will be the first with a new console out. Nintendo execs already said it will be very powerful and it has been in development for some time.

zeal0us5549d ago

going for the m$ approach good luck nintendo

Stealth20k5549d ago

nope they have the best exclusives and the best sales..........

zeal0us5549d ago

the best exclusive are made by nintendo themselves where is the competition...its like nintendo is the roman empire and 3rdparty developers are just little community waiting to overthrow them knowing it will never happen.

Saint-Revlot5549d ago

Haha, blind fanboy thinks the wii has the best exclusives.

Shok5549d ago

He's not blind. Nintendo makes the highest-selling and high-rated games. It's a fact man, no fanboyism here. Go look it up.

Saint-Revlot5549d ago

Maybe Highest selling, but certainly not the highest acclaim.

Samus HD5549d ago (Edited 5549d ago )

than why do you think it's still selling?
No third party support... Only nintendo games keep the Wii going (which is the best for games)

only think this.... No HD and still on TOP.1

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.

PRIMORDUS45d ago (Edited 45d 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.

0hMyGandhi70d 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.

AuraAbjure70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer71d 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.

-Foxtrot71d 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_Box71d ago (Edited 71d 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

Inverno71d ago

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

Eonjay71d 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.

Inverno69d 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.

Killer2020UK70d 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 🤷‍♂️
