Nintendo has sold over 50 million Wii systems to date, that is over 20 million more than the Xbox 360 in ONE less year on the market. As a hardware manufacturer they aren't going anywhere.
Nintendo revealed 3 first party games during E3. Metroid, Mario Galaxy 2, and New Super Mario Bros. for Wii. Nintendo's problem is that they didn't show any of the many third party titles coming out for the system. No mention of Silent Hill Shattered Memories, no mention of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom or Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, no mention of No More Heroes 2, I can go on and on.
Now, if you look at Sony's conference or Microsoft's, they paraded their third party games like crazy, because they were smart. Nintendo failed to do that.
Their press conference this year, not good but not bad, especially if you've been familiar with E3 since it first started.
That's because Nintendo doesn't have many third party games...good games that the system supports.
I was one of those 50 million that bought one and I'm also one of those 45 million that lets his system collect dust, as are most of my friends as well. We bought into the hype and were let down as there focus is no longer on the core group of gamers.
We had two per household before I moved out my mother and sister bought one with wiifit...they hardly use it. I guess what I'm getting are these points:
Sure it's sold the most console but how many of those user actually play the console on a regular basis? I haven't turned my on for at least 6 months.
And Nintendo may be gaining fans that are tween girls, and children, and little kids, and grandparents, and 50 something year old women with brain age and games of passion. Nintendo may be doing well with sales and numbers but in terms of the core gamer they are focusing less and less on us. Pretty soon Nintendos not even going to really make video games for the masses. It's going to be Microsoft and Sony, and maybe even apple next gen? Nintendo is in a different league, one that doesn't really appeal to me.
And I wish they would because I love my older Nintendo systems.
I mean I watched all 3 press conferences. With Nintendo I saw 2 games that I want. SONY I want about 20. How long can Nintendo go on before they are mocked as the child system. The uncool kiddie system that use to reign supreme.
It's sad, I grew up with their systems. I was one of those hardcore gamers that helped make Nintendo what they are today. It just seems Nintendo's saying this: "Thanks to everyone who made us successful, since the Gamecube didn't do to well, since we made games that didn't appeal to the hardcore masses, and it sold poorly...we are not shifting to focus to non-gamers. And we are going to hook you in with this gimmick, and the promises of our successful popular franchises ever 4 years.
It's a trick. They pulled the blinders on us. We bought it, and now I'm stuck with a game system that appeals more to tween girls than us 20 something male gamers. It's sad and makes me very angry.
......AND BREATHE.....
Did you not play the first Mario Galaxy? If not, you should. If you did and don't like it, then it wasn't for you, but it was GOY material for most everybody else.
If I am trying to sell a product though for profit I know that I am going to try to sell it to as many people as possible. I guess Nintendo feels the same way.
