So basically this is just a repeat of E3 2011.
I'm glad Nintendo's stocks are taking a blow. Its been obvious over these last few years that Nintendo doesn't care what core gamers think, but I know they do care what their stockholders think... so this should get their attention. When a few people on a fan site complain about the lack of games Nintendo doesn't give a ****, but when the stockholders dump their stock, now they'll give a ****.
It doesn't happen often, but this time at least I think the stockholders are right on the money. They were wrong about Nintendo needing to go third party and support Android and Ipad, but this time they are dead right. The more we learn about the Wii U the more its looking like its doomed to failure. Its like Nintendo went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make the console look exactly the same as the Wii, and the name "Wii U"? Yeah, how could that possibly get people confused? I'm sure consumers will look at the Wii U and immediately know its something different from the Wiis that are gathering dust in their living rooms.
I don't know if Nintendo has noticed or not, but Wii system and software sales have seen a sharp decline these last few years. The fad is wearing off.... no one cares anymore. So how do they respond to a declining fad? They pump out more of the same. Am I the only one who can already see how this is going to go very wrong? Apparently the investors agree. The Wii fad is over. This isn't 2007 anymore.
