Thats is not the issue at all, though.
Also, that is 1/5 of what they made in the console market with the Wii.
Nintendo doesn't use that factory anymore and hasn't for months. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Most don't. Most prefer to attack Iwata, Miyamto, old franchises and hardware strength as the sole cause of problems.
But he is saying the exact same thing that Sony said about the Wii.
But Mario and Zelda games didn't total anywhere near 100m sales on the console. So how does that work?
The highest selling games were Wii Sports. In fact, those are the highest selling games in history.
You are aware that despite Nintendo's losses, they are actually still in a much better condition than their competitors right? They lost no where near as much s Sony and Microsoft. Yet, I don't see anyone lamenting Sony going out which even a major firm have deemed a 70% chance of happening do their losses.
The Wii U may be losing money at the moment, but that's it. Enough software releases and refined development process can turn that around.
*has gotten*
Why do people keep feeding Patcher?
Overall it was profitables thanks to software sales, but they sold the console at a lost. They lost money on the hardware itself.
That is why the Wii U isn't doing so well. Every console sold is money lost, not money made. Until they can cut the manufacturing cost down or move more software, the Wii U is going to cost them money.
If they made a new console it would be even more expensive and cost them even more money.
Neither of them are too blame. Myamoto was just as much behind the Wii U as Iwata.
Their are hundreds of people responsible for the console being what it is and in the state it is.
Stop riding bandwagons. Most of them tread mislaid paths.
Everything about this statement is wrong.
When the Wii U came out, it was the most powerful console on the Market, and Nintendo stopped competing with the 360/PS3 after the Gamecube giving them record breaking success.
Gaming isn't about power, its about games. But fanboys don't comprehend this.
Actyally, both are correct.
People seem to have no clue at all that Iwata has done for both Nintendo and the game industry.
He is one of the industries top innovators and risk takers. He pioneered, the stable use of touch screen gaming, dual screen gaming, motion control. He has made Nintendo worth more than Sony, the biggest hardware company in Japan.
People like the blame him for all of Nintendo problems but not credit him for their succe...
The is mostly true of Iwata as well.
All of the great things they have done is why they are getting attacked. The gaming industry has had extreme bias against Nintendo since the Wii led Nintendo to astronomical success over Sony. At every given turn they will blame all problems on the most successful things Nintendo has. Iwata, Miyamoto, their old franchises, and cheaper unique hardware(which they like to insult as gimmicky).
Eurogamer has always had a clear ...
Like I always say, when people attack Nintendo, they attack the most successful things because they hate Nintendo success and want to see them fail.
I've seen them attack Nintendo haters attack Retro studio's quite a few time.
They would be attacking Sakurai and Monolith Soft if they were more popular too.
If its anti-Nintendo it goes green also immediately.
The same thing as everyone. He doens't want them to beat Sony again, and each console they make a has a chance of making that happen.
Nintendo lost money on the Gamecube. Why would they want to make another one?
Nintendo doesn't have a children's audience and never has.
They have a family/friend oriented audience. That has never changed.
Would have no positive effect on sales as records have shown.
