ShadySands Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Nintendo cuts Wii U sales forecast by 69 percent Nintendo is in a world of trouble, and it's not clear what might change its luck. The game company on Friday announced that it needs to revise its Wii U sales expectations from an anticipated 9 million units sold between April 2013 and March 2014 to 2.8 million units during that period -- a 69 percent drop compared with previous estimates . Wii U software sales, meanwhile, were halved in the modification, with Nintendo now saying that it expects software sales to hit 19 million units, rather than the 38 million it initially expected. The trouble isn't just with the Wii U. Nintendo has revised its 3DS sales down to 13.5 million units, compared with 18 million in its previous forecast. Nintendo won't even hit the 2 million Wii units it had hoped to sell, saying instead that it will only muster 1.2 million unit sales during the period. Nintendo's admission of trouble is no surprise to those who have been watching the game industry closely. Each month, the Wii U has failed to capture consumer attention in the US, and competing consoles have been doing a far better job appealing to gamers. Not surprisingly, all this has forced Nintendo to revise its financials down. The company now says that it will lose 25 billion yen ($240 million). Nintendo previously hoped to generate a 55 billion yen profit. Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A co-workers sister bought a Wii-U controller all excited that they made a touchscreen controller for her Wii. And she's not the only one making that kind of mistake. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeOcelot Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 You could say the same for the Wii, not that much more powerful than a Xbox or GCN, and that sold better than both the PS3 and Xbox360. I think this is what happens when you try to fool people twice and how mainstream adoption can be extremely fickle. At least in my opinion the Wii was a fad that was really ****, and people are just going to assume the WiiU is more of the same, but they're also not the people buying the other consoles anyway. People wanted motion controls, until they used them. People want touchscreen games, but for some time they've owned tablets and smartphones, they also want ****ty touchscreen games, which Nintendo can't corner the market on.

alanschu Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The Wii was great because it had casual, atypical gamer appeal. The thing is, I don't think you can market to them the same as the traditional gaming community. Many of them are still okay with their Wii, and don't see a reason to buy the Wii-U. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I want to play modern Nintendo games, but then I see that screen/button/stick/pad "controller" thing and suddenly I feel like a consumer Nintendo is not selling to. Why can't they save the gimmicks for peripheral sales and give me a flagship hardware unit with power, storage, and a comfy controller. I think car companies call it a halo effect. All Stop.

The thing is, I don't think you can market to them the same as the traditional gaming community. Many of them are still okay with their Wii, and don't see a reason to buy the Wii-U. I think that is exactly it. For many of my aunts and uncles, it was the first console they bought since their kids were kids. It was the first console my sister bought. It was the one our girlfriends wanted to play. They've also basically replaced it with their tablets and smart phones, and those don't take up their TV's so they can also have some show or sporting event on there as well while they play. You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVC Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 This makes sense because in some of these games, particularly games from the east, the breast sizes are completely disproportionate to the size of the women. This is a positive step in the campaign to address the objectification of ladies in games.
