Jedi Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) might as well cross out Wonderful 101 right now price drop is gonna have to wait, Wii Fit/Party crowd has moved on, Mega Man in Smash isn't really a megaton for sales (admittedly "fire Iwata" is a joke") that's.....3D mario by the holidays and Mario Kart by spring 2014? The funny thing is, Sonic Lost World may do the Wii U some good considering the Sonic fans even those who tend to hate the newer games. Like to grab them just so they can whine about it. [After how fun Unleashed, Colors and Generations were i'm uber hyped for it and is one of the main reasons I'm grabbing a Wii U :P] Edited August 10, 2013 by Folgore Red II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) trolololololololol Y'all fell for it. Honest opinion though. Nintendo's stock (not literal stock) has been dropping in the past few years. They used to be giants and now they are considered third wheel to Microsoft and Sony when it comes to consoles. Who knows how long they'll stay relevant at this rate. I'm banking on 5 years tops. Edited August 10, 2013 by Tricky Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ive always thought that if things turn sour, they should make preparations to go like SEGA, but they seem to want to keep their pride. Maybe firing Iwata wouldn't be that bad of an idea in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) I'd love if they went handheld only, since there's no console I enjoy more than nintendo handhelds. Imagine the gba/ds/3ds with even more games? I'd love it. I know they won't ever do that, though, since they generally make a lot of money from the home consoles.

Ema Skye Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Honestly, the Wii U will pick up when the games come out for it. The 3DS was in a much similar situation a year ago (before the release of Ocarina of Time 3D and Mario 3D Land), and look at where it is now. Wii U has Smash Bros and Mario Kart coming out sometime next year, and Zelda U is shortly afterwards. The system will pick up if given the time. I'm rather disappointed they didn't learn from the 3DS's initial failure and actually released... good games with the Wii U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is doing far worse than the 3DS ever did. 2. 3DS didn't launch with a Mario, so 3D Land/Mario Kart 7 actually brought in more of the traditional Nintendo consumers; conversely, NSMBU is already on the Wii U to draw this audience (which makes me wonder how horrible sales would be without NSMBU, given its absurd attach rate.....) 3. Still eating a loss, can't price cut unlike the 3DS 3a. nobody buys the basic version so the Wii U price is effectively $350, which is only $50 less than a PS4 3b. PS4/XB1>>>>>>Vita for competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 In addition, the PS4 (like all of its bucktoothed cousins) doubles as a DVD player (allowing families to buy one with the added bonus of a game system for the kids) and won't revolve around a 5~10 game line-up as its focal point. There is one thing that you're all missing. Most of you are pretty priviliged. If I'm not mistaken, you all have multiple game systems floating around your houses. Most of the world doesn't work like that. I, for example, have had two different game consoles since 2001 (a NGC amd Xbox 360). And most people don't buy a system for two or three games, unlike what most of you are stating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narga_Rocks Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If only console games' prices dropped as quickly as PC games. So many $20 games on Steam and Skyward Sword is still 40+ and the next system has been out how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most console games drop in price relatively quickly, nintendo games are the exception, they almost never drop in price. Super mario 64 ds, for example is still being sold for the launch price(!!!)

shadykid Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Call of Duty games also don't really drop from what I've seen or if it's Xenoblade, the price goes UP after release edit: Wii U sub-30k this month in NPD (Vita sub-17k currently, was 35k last year though) Edited August 16, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
