Imagine if the Wii had been as powerful as the 360/PS3 and had the motion controls too, it would probably have at least doubled it's total sales by attracting hardcore gamers away from Microsoft/Sony, yes I agree the motion controls were a cheap gimmick, but it was a massive success, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear that Nintendo either has no clue what their consumers want, or just doesn't listen to them. Be honest, did you want your next Nintendo Console to be portable with two slide-off shitty controllers? I'm not saying its a bad product, I'm saying nobody asked for it. I travel all across the country around the year very frequently and I have yet to see anyone at an airport, not even a kid, playing with this thing out in the wild. I've seen plenty of 3DS's though.

Well a lot of people are liking it and buying it, which shows that Nintendo did the right thing.

Nintendo did some market research when developing the Wii and found that the number of HD TVs (at least in the US) was extremely low so it did not make sense to make an HD system. Also, you would not say "cheap motion control gimmick" if you actually played the games that used it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the number of HD TV's were low, but there was no denying that number was increasing rapidly and we were going into the High Definition era very soon back then. Why wouldn't they want to future proof their system knowing it was going to be in the market for at least 5 years? Just dumb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nich2440 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Yeah they didn't do market research. They cut corners. They thought they could do more with less. They were wrong and by the time they realized it, it was too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering PS3/360 sold at least 167 million units combined, it turned out to be a stupid decision, that was potentially 167 million sales missed out on.

Your Nintendo biased was clear yesterday during the stream when you asked Phil to play Mario Tennis, a throwaway Mario sports game nobody cares about. Its ok. you'll learn.

Haha ya that picture is rubbish so who cares? :P and yes I like Nintendo and my measurement of fandom will not diminish because you are so desperate to harass and make me agree with you. Not happening lulz Why are you so angry that I want Phil to play a certain game? Now look who is sensitive :D as far as people caring about it, I do.
