Nintendo literally didn't have a single game appearing on their platforms in the top 10, and the top selling Nintendo game was outsold by the top selling Sony game 25x over
>>340636662
You retarded? Those are the forums, not their inaccurate approximations. Aquamarine has been posting NPD numbers on their forums (as well as NeoGAF) for years now.
>>340636820
Ok then.

>>340636820
Did she ever said why she left Gaf other than the NPD closing down on her and the company she work (or used to) on? She was rather scare that they got to her and asked for a public ban so it looked like she didn't want to be associated with her online persona anymore, but then she went to make her same account on another forum. What gives?
>>340634949
Nintendo has refused to play ball since the Wii became a runaway success, and now it's coming to bite them in the ass because they can't appeal to "core gamers" without doing so.
Their catalog of third party games is absolutely pathetic, they're half-assing their side of the remaster trend (WWHD actually LOST content) and the game pad, which could have been a handy tool, has become a burden that drags a lot of games down. (3D Land, Star Fox Zero) Not to mention that they're EXTREMELY vulnerable to scalpers and their reputation tanks more and more when LEs come out.
The hardware needs to make a giant leap forward to the present day, or the NX needs to actually just be a fucking phone to appeal to the next big thing for casuals. They wanted to recreate the Wii U but anyone who bought the Wii is still content with the library of games. Just as well because the Wii U offers nothing for them but confusion. The amount of people who think the Wii U and the Wii are interchangeable is ridiculous.
>>340634949
>Anyone buying anything other then Overwatch.
That's cute.
>>340637220
She originally had to leave due to her work, but things changed and NPD relaxed their rules and she made an account for someone in the NPD who posted numbers but they banned him/her for "alt" and now she hates GAF and posts on VGC
People have abandoned the Wii U. Anyone who still cares about Nintendo are waiting for the NX
>>340637592
>banning for alt
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA no wonder, Gaf is pretty stupid sometimes, specially the owner and most of the mods.
Good they deserve it.
Im a huge drone and the fucking months-long games droughts are unacceptable.
They reap what they sow with the amount and quality of games they have been recently producing. I don't care how much miyamoto busted his dick for starfox or how little sleep their workers are getting. As long as their games continue to be infrequent and mediocre, i will not give them a single cent.
I hope #FE bombs worse than StarFox so Nintendo gets the picture with their stupid fucking changes, but I know it won't. It'll probably do twice as good at least.
Let them die, they are too out of touch. The Nintendo we all knew and loved is no more
>>340637865
>sometimes
My plan was to buy to buy all the games they show at e3 next week.
>>340634949
America has traditionally always sucked nintendo's cock even through dark times, because it was indoctrinated by them in the early 80's and 90's.
So that's really bad news indeed.
>>340634949
>How the fuck do we save them
Go the route of Sega, drop out of hardware sales and start developing titles for other systems while offering their IP's to other developers to maximize output.
>>340638054
>this
They totally deserve it. The 3DS is fine but they haven't had a completely solid console since the N64. The GameCube had some great titles, but also started the multi-plat era of games only coming out on Sony/Microsoft consoles.
Tbh I don't think Nintendo needs to win a lot of 3rd party support to stay afloat. If they just make a powerful console with good 1st party support I would buy it. I saw someone on /v/ post an Ocarina of Time/Geurdo Valley render done in unreal engine and I'm just like fuck...why can't we have something like that...
the only way to save them is for them to start producing games exclusively, and to produce them as a third party or on PC lik valve does with optional nintendo-machines for people who dont use PCs for gaming.
no one in their right mind thinks its a good value to spend $300-$400 for a piece of hardware that only plays corny amiibo nintendo games with outdated graphics

Hopefully new Nintendo god king emperor Kimishima can fix shit. I don't want Nintendo to die, I want them to unfuck their shit. I want the "new" and "unique" of the NX to mean new and unique for Nintendo, as in no gimmicks, no weak hardware, just a more powerful, but developer accessible system, with a normal fucking controller that has video games. That would certainly be new and unique for them, and it wouldn't hurt for them to start sucking dick in order to get SNES levels of third party support back.

Aren't the investors concerned? Even though Nintendo is doing fine in other areas the console sales are abysmal beyond belief. Just looking at the numbers myself with NO ATTACHMENT to this company aside from owning the piece of shit is enough to worry the fuck out of me.
I wish nintendo would make an effort. There is no effort being made at all NONE. Its honestly sad. With that being said the wiiU is alright as a permanent stream machine which is what I use it for now.

They haven't in years but they used to. They could come back but I doubt it, way too stubborn to admit the ship is sinking.
>>340644540
They clearly have it in them with Splatoon, they just have too much old blood in there. If you read the story of Splatoon's development it was hard for them to get internal support because the game wasn't a proven franchise..

>>340645371
How?
Maybe in handhelds but in terms of home console gaming nintendo haven't really 'moved the industry forward' since the n64, and the ps1 is half responsible for that too.
>>340645423
Depends on your criteria for moving the industry forward. It sold really well and got a ton of merch.
>>340645518
Did you forget the time Sony and Microsoft both came up with their own shitty controller gimmicks at the same time, only to find out Nintendo had caught lightning in a bottle?
>>340634949
They could start by not treating their customers like children and stop censoring games.
>>340645646
It was a fad that caught on and then died abruptly, leaving millions of wiis in grandparents' attics.
If it moved the industry forward then motion controls would be prevalent today.

That's what happens when you do nothing but rehashing your own titles over and over. Nintendo needs to fucking wake up and do something new.
>>340645773
>If it moved the industry forward then motion controls would be prevalent today.
Something could move the industry forward and be forgotten (with good reason), like the seemingly infinite number of mascot games made following Sonic's success.
>>340646014
Star Fox Guard
why didn't you buy it?
>>340646016
sonic moved the industry forward, and he got hundreds of followup games and is still around today.
Motion controls burned out in a few years and now it's been almost completely dropped by all manufacturers
>>340646008
No. Europe converted from Sega to Sony overnight.
There was never any room for Nintendo there to begin with. The market the Wii tapped into was never theirs, and they couldn't keep it.
>japan hates the n64 and wii.
No Japan hates the N64 and Gamecube, and Wii U.
>>340634949
Yeah no shit
There is no Majora Nintendo game since Fire Emblem fates that sold huge
Yet Pokken still sold more than SFV
>>340646014
>Nintendo needs to fucking wake up and do something new.

2mil. sold, and the next game is completely different as well.
stop whining
The Wii U was a failure in sales, simple as that, shit like this happens

We have a next console coming soon that will do either better or worse depending on how Nintendo markets and supports it

>>340646648

>>340634949
I don't know if there really is any way of saving them at this point. They keep fucking up and refuse to learn anything from their mistakes. Wii U was objectively an abysmal failure and none of their IPs have the power they used to have. The way I see it, NX is really their last chance. If they fuck it up (at least 50/50 chance they will, probably higher), then they can pretty much look forward to making shitty phone games, a pathetic shell of what they once were.

The same can be said for fucking Eggheads on DS. Low figures for IPs tends to show the interest in this new IP now, doesn't it?
>>340634949
Nintendo just need to luck out again.
Technically speaking, this company should be dead by the 80's, when they did that incredibly retarded bet of buying 5 million of chips from a company that was at a brink of the failure, to manufacture a product that the MOST SUCCESSFUL ONE was at 7 million.
To not mention the radarscope fiasco, the toy fiasco, the N64 fiasco..
>>340634949

>it's another Nintendo is Doomed thread

>Tbh I don't think Nintendo needs to win a lot of 3rd party support to stay afloat.
I think Nintendo having the same amount of 3rd party support they have on the 3DS would've been sufficient. But they couldn't even manage that. Even the 3DS had more original Nintendo first party. I'm pretty sure putting Kid Icarus on the Wii-U would've been a much better idea since it had shit controls on their handheld. And the 3DS has a bunch of SMT and Etrian Odyssey games.
I mean, look at their Direct and you can see how much attention they gave their handheld over their console.
>>340634949
Did they even release any games last month?
>>340650404
I hate when people make this stupid argument. Companies are created to make money and sell products to consumers. They don't just exist to throw money in the trash creating an electronic or software that isn't a hit.

You realize that losses are calculated after the employees are paid, right?
Obviously companies always want to grow, because growth is good, but a company isn't going to go under from a few years of losses. Hell, Sony took more in losses than Nintendo is worth from like 2005 to 2012.
Also, Nintendo hasn't posted a loss for the fiscal year since about 2011 or 2012, and that was the first loss they posted in 50 years.
They're fine, especially with amiibo, 3DS sales, and recent successes like Splatoon, which will inevitably feed into the success of its sequel.

I fucking hate Nintendo recently. I hope they literally collapse. Out of touch old fashioned cunts. The company is run by 60-70 year olds. They're arrogant, they don't listen to their fans, their kiddy image is annoying, Miyamoto's a fuckface. They're a shitty toy company who haven't been relevant ever since N64. Their market share is diminishing at a fast rate. Kids don't care about them anymore, casuals left them, and core gamers are all with Sony. They're fucked. Absolutely fucked. And it's their own fault.
>>340652474
Ps4 is literally a multiplat machine, all their sales were from FIFA, Madden and CoD. Nobody really cares about Uncharted, Bloodborne or weeb games outside of internet forums.
>>340652661
Nintendo has barely made a dent in the console duopoly since the Wii had a completely separate main market and the Wii U sold like shit with barely any games.
>>340652476

Honestly most people that are over the age is 20 saw this coming.
The only reason gaming became popular was it was the "cool" thing to do and surged in popularity. Now all those hipsters are finally growing up and the new generation is into tablets/smartphones instead.

They haven't released anything new in months so that's hardly surprising.

Once a death spiral starts it's hard to reverse and nintendo should be careful
>>340653487
In terms of sales it's hardly a killer app. PS4 is basically the dudebro console of choice this gen, it's why there's so many PS4 sales but actual PS4 games aren't selling a whole lot relative to total console sales.

FF syndrome.
Reuse an IP that you keep reinventing, because you refuse to take risks by making new IPs, as a result the series tends to mean something different to different generations, sparking infighting and disagreement about how to make a good entry, resulting in diminishing returns and appreciation, while fostering a growing us vs them mentality.
Nintendo is killing their IPs, slowly, and nothing will fix this outside of new IPs, but they've done this for so long that now their user base is conditioned to only buy those IPs instead of new ones, so they keep reusing them in a vicious cycle. This is why they're one a downward trajectory. You can look at Splatoon and say otherwise, but what about the platinum exclusives? Or code name steam? Chibirobo series? Rodea? FE? FE series? XB series? Daigassou series? Luigi series? There's a long history of generally ignoring nintendo IPs outside of the one's Nintendo has spent a long time training it's user base to want.

Splatoon had all of these and succeeded.
Starfox had none of these.
Miyamoto needs to go. Paper Mario is the way it is now because of him. With him around, devs have no choice but to follow his "suggestions". He's stuck too in the past. Many people shit on the forced motion control in Starfox Zero previews, and he dismissed all of them.

>>340662952
Bravely Second was released in the US in April, so all the sales it was going to get were gotten there. It isn't a 1st party Nintendo game, so it's not going to have legs
Square said Bravely Default sold pretty well in the US, so who knows how well Bravely Second did over here
