![]() Even Microsoft and Sony likely don’t bet the barn on E3, just use it as a day for the big big PR releases ya know? Of course I’m looking forward to E3 as well, but you know, don’t pin everything up on just that. Seriously the directs are far more important than E3 as that is what has been stronger at informing and building interest than one day of releases Not saving SMT X FE for an E3 reminder was probably the biggest sign of how strong Directs are versus E3 to them. They loved their E3 last year, and they’re doing well this year. Everyone hated their E3 two years ago (save me as it was the only one free of political bullshit) and what happened? They did well the following year. Everyone says this is a make or break whatever for Nintendo and they find a way to exist regardless. Where the games releasing at the pace of last year I’d have to begrudgingly agree with that assessment, but this year is solid so far.Īnd come on man don’t say that. At worst it just has peeked adopters for this gen, but either way games are still coming out for it that are turning out pretty darn good and there is a full year of releases for this year. Loosing the popularity contest doesn’t make you dead it just makes your fans that much more concentrated and a little rabbit in Nintendo’s case lol. People like to say these things like a console is dead or going to die, but I was around when Sega dropped the 32X and Saturn and when the Dreamcast faded away. So again, it’s not on life support, it’s providing it’s base with what they want. And the flow of games may be primarily from them, but that is irrelevant if that’s what the fans want. ![]() They’re not thinking of dropping it if it doesn’t meet some goal so it’s not even in danger of dieing. ![]() If they can market their games to their fans, keep quality high and costs efficient, neither anemic or gluttonous, and steadily continue to support the console then it’ll be fine. However I also contest that that is irrelevant to the grand scheme of things. I freely admit that the Wii U is not popular. Though I guess you are correct that that isn’t too important with so many people on the internet trying to be businessmen and women rather than intelligent consumers (not talking about you if it sounds that way I just lurk on the internet way too much lol). Keeping the quality high also helps reassure consumers their purchase wasn’t wasted. A lot of those third party games and exclusives are paid for by Sony and Microsoft which hurt their profits, while Nintendo focusing so much on just making their own games and not paying for third party keeps a larger profit to themselves for their games. Technically, it’s doing second best as far as making the company profits is concerned. The second is your assumption that just because the Wii U’s install base is the smallest it is doing the worst. Popular though it may be, big as its fan base is they have yet to move the game console into the black. They never have in any of its iterations. The first is that Microsoft makes no money from XBox. You make very good points however you are incorrect about two things.
