There is no saving Nintendo...

There are several vociferous members on here who kept lambasting me over my criticisms of Nintendo. They were the ones who continuously shouted to the heavens about how once Mario and Zelda got another game off of the ground, that the Wii U would come storming back. They called me an idiot, and how I have no idea what I'm talking about when I said that even Gamers in Japan were getting tired of Nintendo's 20 year-old rehashes... [url=http://games.yahoo.com/news/worst-news-yet-wii-u-154024811.html]I am twice proven a Prophet.[/url] I say twice, because I also posted a story about how the Wind-waker (or whatever Zelda game) rehash wouldn't lift sales for the Wii U, and I was right. I've said repeatedly that though a new Mario game wouldn't lift sales except for an embarrassingly small amount, it would still be sad to see Nintendo complete it's fall. We got one step closer to that sadness. Don't get me wrong. I do not want to see Nintendo fail, but their ego is getting too large. their arrogance to thick to even allow them to see that their refusal to stay competitive is destroying their company. The truth is that if it weren't for the 3DS, Nintendo would be bankrupt already. Still, even the 3DS cannot keep Nintendo operating in the black, and it's only a matter of time before they fold. They're so far in the red that it's pathetic, and they higher-ups at Nintendo refuse to see it, and that's the really sad thing about this.

    Japan has never been big 3D Mario territory for one. Two, the Wii U has a relatively small install base so it will sell a small amount of any game out the gate right now. That base will grow over time. Not in one huge chunk. Nintendo [b]has[/b] made some missteps with the Wii U. They are definitely lacking in both number of games and variety. What little games they do have are all mostly cutesy platformers. Essentially they have wasted their year head start on the PS4/X1. That being said the Wii U is still a good console with a lot of potential left. It just needs games which will come with time. (I'd give anything for a Golden Sun U series). Nintendo is going to be fine. They can ride their Wii and handheld moneys for a long while yet. I'd say right now there's a better chance of the Xbox brand disappearing with their new CEO coming in (and I don't think that's very likely either).
