This brand is dying, and I doubt we will see anything changing anytime soon.

Their Wii was a disaster, it only entertained people for a short period of time. Most block buster games only come out for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Their system went outdated the moment it hit the shelves.

Wii U was another disappointment, they released the console way too soon and now it will be outdated compared to PS4 and Xbox One.

I really don't see Nintendo going to make it past this decade, they will eventually get bought out and shut off their doors.

Their handle held systems are not selling like once they were.
PS Vita is gaining momentum, the system is more attracting, especially being able to play your favorite consoles games while you are away via their cloud network.

Their income has been going downhill every year, I really don't see them keep going strong unless they make a drastic change, but their CEO and the people in charge are awful.
Investors will pull the plug on Nintendo if their revenue keeps going down and down every year.
Investors want to see the arrow go up each quarter, not down.

Might as well R.I.P Nintendo.
 
yeah the Wii U thing was completely mishandled. They never advertised or anything. I cant remember actually ever seeing a commercial for it. Then they dont even hold a conference at E3 to get some press. The casual gamer is what made the Wii a huge sales success and the casual gamer doesnt even know what a Wii U is. They have absolutely ZERO third party selling points and the console wars are over for them in my mind.
 
heh, no games... thats the only problem. i still know a TON of kids playing it, but it is dying, because of the lack of games! the kids too young for COD still love it, and still spend money on it, so if they could just get more games, they'd be better off.

it = wii & 3ds lite
 
my kids and several of my, and their, friends have the newest 3DS systems... they really (fucking REALLY) like Animal Crossing. not my cup of tea but /shrug

as for the wii - yeah, definitely dated and the games are nowhere near as fun to play as many of the "classic" n64 games. my son used to play game cube games on the wii (SSB) and that's about it. wii-u? please.

now, as a family, we're looking at the ps4 come Christmas time. hopefully it won't cost my first-born when i try to add 3 controllers and at least 2 games.... ($700 total or so?)
 
I swear the only games I play on the Wii are Mario Wii, Super Smash Bro, and Mario Parties XD

I mean Nintendo hasnt been doing well in the states but in Asia countries they're still strong. I know US dont get the best games out there for Wii but in Japan and other Asian countries thats a different story :p

Dont forget dam Pokemon series as well they're still rolling out so Nintendo has some form of profit for a while until Pokemon dies out lol
 
Pokemon is still really big when it comes to the show, card and Handheld tourneys. I only do the card tourneys now but there are a lot of people who buy their crap. hah
 
Nintendo will not be dying any time soon.

They have a new smash brothers and a new Zelda coming out, also they are getting the new metal gear and pokemon X&Y are sposed to be the beezknees.

Nope not happening this year

I say this because I work at TRU, I sale Wii consoles daily, same with 360's and PS3's.

Now i will say the WII U isn't doing good right now but if you look at when the wii first launched, it was the same. They didn't have many killer games that folks wanted.

When people think about nextgen gaming, they don't think about Wii or Wii U, they think about the current PS3 and Xbox 360.
I think more and more developers will be running away from the Wii U, because it really isn't worth their time if they are not getting the sales.
 
Well I didn't think that playstation would last with their horrible launch on the ps3. I seriously didnt meet anyone who had one until like two years or so later after it was released.maybe i just had poor friends.
