Nintendo is out of touch

First with the 3ds and now the wii u, Nintendo seems to be striking out

Now let's cover what's wrong, i'll start with the 3ds

The 3ds started off on the wrong foot and just like the vita people were claiming it was dead on arival, but after a huge pricecut it seems the 3ds is back again.

but only in japan, in europe and america it's lagging behind the PS360, while the ds was well ahead off them both, the reason for this is simple, and it's not because of smartphones, it's because the 3ds lacks the same innovation the ds originally had, infact the 3ds is just a pumped up ds with 3d which is ironic because sony tried pushing 3d and it failed, so why the hell did nintendo make a handheld based off this?

Now let's look at the wii u

The wii u is everything a consumer would have wanted 6 years ago, now it's just dated, especially seeing as the PS4/720 is about to release making it obsolete to the hardcore gamer, so the only audience nintendo has left is the casuals, but i doubt they will latch onto the wii u like they did with the wii, and the reason is simple.

Back in 2006 the wii was something different, something no one has seen or played before, while the wii u is just a tablet latched onto a console.. that's all, how is that innovating! that's just taking a popular product and sticking it onto another.

So this is why Nintendo is out of touch, instead of innovating again they decided to copy everyone else and call it a day

Well done Nintendo

Yay!How unoriginal.You just created a doom thread.:|

Sold my Wii and ended up eventually getting a PS3 and 360. Got a 3DS and Vita, haven't touched the 3DS in months.

Haven't you heard? Nintendo has been doomed since 1889.

lol selling 400k wii us 300 k wiis 256 k 3ds and 285k ds in one month ya their out of touch oh wait , their winning the race lol compared to the other guys . and lol what ground do you have to stand on - prove to me that nintendos on their last legs?

Another quality post from mariokart64fan

Neither system is perfect, but I wouldn't go so far as to say Nintendo is out of touch. As long as they make games that I enjoy playing, I'll buy the system. Multiplatform games that don't come to the Wii U will probably release for PC, in which case, I'll get to play them regardless.

Nintendo caters to its fanbase and makes more money than any other company does in the gaming business. It's the forum fanboys who are out of touch.

Really trying to get away from that Pokemon-lover image, aren't we?darkspineslayer

Nope, just hyped about gta 5, once that comes out i'll change it back

Meeper :?jessejay420

I want nintendo to succeed, just doubting it this time :?

Meeper :?jessejay420

Nice sig, lol. :D

The core Problem with both the 3DS and WiiU is the fact Nintendo thought it would be a brilliant Idea to Rebrand the DS and Wii line.

The Number 1 confusion the average consumer has for these objects were and are this.

3DS = It's a DS with 3D capability. ergo, no need to buy if you have a DS.

WiiU = It's a Tablet Add-on that NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT. First response we have was "WTF is a WiiU?"

Nintendo needs better Marketing.

Seems you can't handle the glory that is WiiU.

If anything, Microsoft is out of touch for thinking Star Wars Kinect will be a cool concept and Sony for believing people will be willing to fork 80 bucks for a decently sized propriety memory stick on top of the 249 dollars for a top of the line handheld.hiphops_savior

Looks at Sony.

the 3ds is just a pumped up ds with 3d which is ironic

Stopped reading here. The same was said about... well every nintendo console as of late really:

"DS is just a GB with two screens"

"Wii is just a gamecube with motion controls"

"WiiU is just a Wii with a tablet"
