Talk:RyansWorld: Nintendo

Most of this shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the Gaming market...

"In 2012 Nintendo released the Wii U to lack luster sales and a diminished third party library."

I won't get into the "lack luster sales" as there is simply no way to tell but the comment about the third party library? Clearly you've not being paying any attention to the news about the Wii U (name likely to be changed btw). Third party support is at an incredible hight; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_U_games Out of twenty games on that list only 5 are published by Nintendo, and one of those is in-fact developed by Traveller's Tales (i.e. not Nintendo). If you look it up there is an amazing amount of 3rd party support for the console, especially given Nintendo's resent track record.

"By Christmas 2013 Microsoft and Sony had obliterated Nintendo's brief revival brought on by the DS and the Wii with the release of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox Protoge."

By Christmas 2013 there will be no PlayStation 4. A new Xbox, yes, a new PlayStation, no. As for the "Brief revival", I would hardly call being by far the strongest contender for the last 5/6 years "brief", and I think anybody who expects it to just fizzle away is suffering from wishful thinking. Realistically, with a year at least before any new competition, the by far most powerful console on the market, the clear plan of attracting "hard core" support (and it's clear that developers trust in this) while still catering to the "casual" market (and apparently trying to "mature" them) on top of lessons learned from the very poor handling of the release of the 3DS they will likely be doing VERY well. There is also the fact that they are Nintendo, and thus have exclusive access to Nintendo games, a fact that the Gamecube largely relied on.

"Six months into 2014 and Nintendo's sales were lagging so far behind the rest of the market that the comparisons to the Sega Dreamcast were defening and Nintendo was forced to bring in an outside party to revive the company"

Please see the above.

The rest of it is all either not likely due to the reasons given above, or a fairly valid long term projection but presented on a far too short time frame. 213.122.216.220 14:57, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
