why make new consoles when you can make old consoles
>Ignoring the Wii
Despite being an anomaly, it increased Nintendo's lifespan by like 50 years
Add that to the success of Pokemon Go and Nintendo will outlive you
>>345049421
They're releasing one next year.
>>345049421
DELETE THIS
I'm sick of seeing this image, so I think it's time to debunk it.
The reason why people don't buy new Nintendo consoles? They stick with the ones they own. There's a reason virtually no one plays Xbox or PS2 anymore while Gamecube is still going strong.
>>345049421
They should figure out what they did right with the Wii and then do that thing again.
U BETTER FUCKING DELET DIS
hopefully
then they can go second party to us epic sonybros
>>345049763
It was cheap and casual. But mobile games do that better.
>>345049763
pander to small children and normies?
NX will deal well, and Xbox and Sony owners will continue to cry because based Nintendo first-party titles remain out of their reach.
>>345049752
people play online with the gc?
>>345049763
What they did right with the Wii was tricking casuals on a massive scale. They could keep trying to do that, but no one would win (except Nintendo) even if they succeeded. Casuals would be tricked again into buying something they won't really use more than once, and hardcores will be stuck with underpowered hardware and bad gimmicks.
>>345050086
Well, the exercise machine industry has been doing that forever and they seem to be doing ok.
>>345050086
>tfw you now see the wii was the biggest scam in the history of the world

>NX poised to win next gen
>>345049421
NX will shut up all these sonnyggers fucking cucks lmao at your lifes how sad you are and to this day i keep on laughin
>>345049421
Not really.
>>345050752
but why would the nintendo faggot in the picture be crying? HE SHOULD BE FUCKING LAUGHING YOU NIGGER
>>345049695
NX is going to be more than a stationary device
>>345050824
Tears of joy.
>>345050752
I like how the crying wojak is still in the background, it shows he's just having delusions for the future
>>345049421
Nintendo actively refuses to adapt to trends and instead make up their own trends, ironically they all sucked and appealed to no one except for motion controls.
>N64 carts vs PS1 FMVs
>GC's whatever it was vs PS2's DVD player/fuckload of games
>Wii U and its oversized DS screen on the gamepad
>>345050752
Are people seriously going to get a NX after how they handled the Wii U? I would be pretty hesitant to put my trust in them again.
>>345050916
>>345050824
sonygger at there best so damn fucking petty for the dumbiest smaliest bs
>>345050086
>and hardcores will be stuck with underpowered hardware and bad gimmicks.
Then why do consoles sell at all anon?
>>345051071
>again
well, if it has BC I guess I could consider it since I well.. never had a fucking Wii U and there's like 3 games I want to play
then again I guess I could emulate later
>>345049763
The Wii was a gimmick previously tried unsucessfully by other people, this time actually managing to make it work enough to sell it to people, of which is was a big deal because being able to handle a sword in game just like a real sword is an appealing idea
Mobile phones came from the DS, with their touch screens and tons of fun gadgets, aka they beat Nintendo at the Wii game, the next thing that's actually happening now is VR, which is coming from the appeal of the original Virtual Boy
Nintendo needs to look into the past and see what people back then fantasized about people in the future would have fun with and make it work in a appealing way to sell it.
I swear to god, it should be a bannable offense to use "nintendo" in your OP. It's only ever troll posts.
>>345051395
Nintendo was not the first to try touch screens or vr anon.
>>345051521
>>345051693
Images aren't loading for me anon, I have no idea what you responded with.
>>345051528
That's the point, they weren't the first at any of those things, yet the Wii and DS almost outsold the PS2 each during their lifetime, VR and Mobile are the next big thing and they don't differ from any of those other than better technology
>>345049421
Nintendo should just go 3rd party already and sell games on PS4
>>345050752
>NX will be the best selling console of all time
>All games are shit and /v/ will hate them
>>345051805
Well, good marketing is vital.
And the WiiU had super shitty marketing.
>>345051879
>Implying /v/ doesn't hate everything
>>345051850
If Nintendo went 3rd party, they likely wouldn't be able to sustain their size. They'd suffer more than Sega did.
>>345051910
It's not just marketing, it's finding that sweet spot between price and where the technology is at.
>>345052118
"where the technology is at" has everything to do with marketing.
Seeing how hyped people are for Breath of the Wild might actually give the NX a sales boost that the Wii U didn't have.
It also has the benefit of not being named like a fucking Wii expansion.
Depending on if the NX flops or not will definitely see if they consider switching to mobile only or not.
>that fucking slant that ignores the fact that the Wii outsold the previous 3 consoles
Look man, I understand Sonyggers are in hyper damage control now that Pokemon Go is literally the most popular thing on Earth right now, Nintendo's stock went up 9+ billion in a week while Sony's been plummeting for years, and everyone gave Zelda game of the show for E3, but you gotta try harder.
>normalfags and shareholders constantly pressuring nintendo to go full mobile
>NX bombs
>theme park shit fails to bring more revenue
>movies fail
>scamiboo already dying
>miyamoto can't make good games to save them now
>kimishima gives in and goes full mobile
>>345052386
SHUT UP! NO ONE CARES!
OH MY G*D!
>>345052386
You would think they would be happy, rather than panicking. If Pokemon Go is a sign that Nintendo is going third party, they should be celebrating, instead of going "WHY ARE YOU NINTENYEAROLDS CELEBRATING?! THIS IS HORRIBLE! STOP IT!".
>>345052505
>scamiboo already dying
They made well over a billion in revenue from amiibo anon.
>>345052370
I'm still not too sure about the NX, it's too early to announce a new console, and as bad as the Wii U was Nintendo must be aware that pulling a Dreamcast on whoever bought the Wii U is deadly unless there's some sort of deal involved because the NX has backwards compatibility.
Not to mention it's going to be another underpowered console with a gimmick, if it is a console at all, it sounds to me like an add-on or a peripheral than the next big thing, could be a portable console you can plug in the TV for all we know, meaning that the Wii U gimmick might still live on.
>>345049421
Even though I think the NX is more likely to fail than succeed they should at least give it one more shot, I'm sure Nintendo's got some creative people that can deliver something.
Truth be told though I think Sony has basically perfected what most people want from consoles, a machine developers like and want to support
>>345052505
Didn't people say the same thing about fitness and quality of life? That Nintendo would drop all video games and just go with that?
>>345052748
>a machine developers like and want to support
So, why do we have so few games for it?
>>345052386
if i sell one tv then make two more tvs and only sell one for each then i make another and sell 18 million it stills out sells the first two you stupid cunt
>>345052860
And for that matter, why are they making a PS4K? If it's perfect, leave it be.

The PS4 has more games than any other current-gen console

>>345053115
I'm sorry, let me be more clear:
So, why do we have so few games worth playing for it?
>>345053115
name 5 PS4 only good games you cunt
>>345049763
It was 2007-08. Economy was going to shit. Sony and MS were offering 500-600 dollar consoles.
Nintendo was offering 250, with a totally new gimmick never seen before.
>>345053181
ugly frog poser leave >>>/r/faggotsRus>>>
>>345053226
>>345053235
FIFA, CoD, Dark Souls 3, Minecraft, Injustice. Wew, that was hard!
>>345053226
The PS4 has tons of games worth playing if you include multiplatform titles, which protip: most games include since they don't game on PC.
>>345053235
>name 5 PS4 only good games you cunt
why would I, faggot?
The PS4 has the most software of any current-gen console. The best console is the one that developers don't need to be coerced into supporting.
The next console to win a console generation is the one that is supported the most by 3rd parties, it has fuckall to do with exclusives.
>>345053374
None of these are exclusive anon.
But you already knew that.
>>345053374
I hope you aren't being serious
>>345053374
>"PS4 ONLY"
>>345053374
You stupid fuck

>>345053445

I don't. I have a decent computer.
>The best console is the one that developers don't need to be coerced into supporting.
So, the one with the least reason to exist?
>it has fuckall to do with exclusives.
Funny how the goalposts change every generation.
>>345050010
PSO, yeah
>>345053465
>>345053470
>>345053475
>>345053545
Fuck you those are the best games of this generation. Can the other platforms say they have Minecraft?
>>345053557
>I have no argument because I'm an autist
PS4 can definitely be beat but you need to understand why it's popular. It has nothing to do with Xbox being shit, it's because 3rd parties like it. The console that 3rd parties like, wins.
>>345053661
>being this much of a nigger in 2016

wow, so hard to understand!
>>345050752
After the Wiiu.. I don't know, man. I certainly won't get one after that fuck up.
Still only have two games for the wiiu, the console is lying somewhere in the attic.
Console War
Console War never changes.
>>345053917
That doesn't explain the Wii selling the most units in the 7th gen though. It was the weakest of all platforms and had the weakest multiplats.
>>345053661
Literally every single one yes.
>>345049421
Will the NX be the wiiU 2.0? with no appeal to normies, shit 3rd party support and a zimbawe style of gaming famine?
>>345054240
FUCK YOU! FFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCK! God dammit
>>345050845
What the fuck...it's a console.
>>345053917
Explain the 7th gen. Something that literally just happened not that long ago.
>>345054271
At this point who would even buy it? they threw off even the most hardcore gamers and nintendo fanboys and normies aren't going to put down 300 bucks for a shitty ps4
>>345054271
Did The Dude post that and screencap it himself? It conveniently opened him up to make that shitty chalkboard image crossing out each game, claiming that Nintendo fans said each one would "save" the Wii U. I feel like this is too perfect to even be spontaneous.
>>345049645
If you think their bankers, creditors, and shareholders will let them focus on anything other than mobile after the Wii U debacle and GO success, you're in for a very rough couple of years.
>>345049763
From the looks of things Nintendo actually is in a way. While the Wii captured the NES magic in the form of a simplified interface that wasn't intimidating coupled with games that hearkened back to stuff like the old NES sports games and 2D Mario, it looks like what we have regarding the new Zelda taking cues from the original entries in the series and all this NES love they're giving that they may indeed be on to something, but only time will tell.
>>345054228
>>345054421
The Wii was an anomaly, had a very interesting new mechanic that customer that normally don't buy consoles were interested in. What do the lifetime software sales of the Wii look like compared to the 360 and PS3?
>>345054526
Seems like their creditors are doing just that. I mean, is there any evidence that the NX is going to be a phone or whatever retarded shit /v/ is claiming it will be?
>>345054593
>What do the lifetime software sales of the Wii look like compared to the 360 and PS3?
According to vgchartz, Wii is ahead in lifetime sales. When PS3 passes it up, we'll talk. Until then, it's still the winner of the 7th generation.
>>345054602
No
I don't think Nintendo is anywhere close to being in financial trouble but that doesn't mean the NX is going to win the next console generation.
>>345054438
>>345049752
The PS2 is the one that kept getting games up until a few years ago.
>>345054564
Breath of the Wild caught people's attention because Nintendo was already taking something people did (open world, crafting, survival) and putting their own spin on it, where instead of each being drawn out elements that feel like chores it's easy for the casuals and fun for people already used to that stuff, there's nothing new about BotW, Nintendo is just putting a spin on it
>>345054271
at least Wii U was bought by former nintendrones like me. only the most naive and blindly loyal nintencucks will buy NX after they shit all over wii U owners. it's gonna be another dreamcast, but with less games because le family friendly image of nintendo.
>>345054727
>According to vgchartz, Wii is ahead in lifetime
In software sales? Where does VGChartz track this?
Even if Wii did win last gen, who cares? The PS4 is beating it competitors by an even larger margin and it's winning through traditional gaming.
Allright /v/ Explain me like I'm a retard.
In 2013 Nintendo was huge, had 0 problems financially and was beloved by almost everyone.
Right after that everything went to shit. So what happened?
>>345054438
>shitty chalkboard image crossing out each game
oh shit I forgot about those
now that was some advanced autism
>>345054526
Nintendo has the major number of shares idiot
>>345054994
I thought 2011 was their roughest year financially in a long time?
>>345054994
wii u
>>345049421
Its fucking sad, after getting tricked into getting the wiiu nothing would make me happier than seeing nintendo getting crushed by the failure of the NX, but I know a vidya industry without nintendo would be complete shit, leaving sony and MS alone is like watching a teacher leaving her classroom and leaving the 2 bullies in charge trying to fuck their other classmates at everychance.
As much as nintendo is an stubborn and retarded company we need them alive
>>345054916
>Where does VGChartz track this?

Its all made up shit

>>345054994
once you are on top, you are going down
>>345055253
>Its all made up shit
I meant more on the site, I know that VGChartz is unreliable as fuck but do they even measure global platform software sales?
>>345055170
Why people underestimate Nintendo so much even after the Wii? Are they retarded or what?
>>345055276
and I can bet that they don't even know why
>>345055253
Well, Nintendo themselves said they sold 914 million units of software on the Wii. We'd just need Sony's statement and we could compare the two.
>>345055276
Oh yes anon, remember when flappy bird creator started earning $50,000 a day? It never stopped right? he is still making 50k a day, isnt it?
>>345054994
They reached their first zenith in over 20 years, of course you're gonna come crashing down.
>>345055125
>>345055278
But you don't go from number 1 to shit in so little time
not even EA fall like this
>>345054884
both the dreamcast and wiiu were pretty good consoles with some good exclusive games
>>345055276
>9 mil in a week
>a lot of money
kek

Probably know a hint more than you at least.
>>345049763
The Wii was amazingly marketed
>wii was a fluke
>amiibo was a fluke

Nintendo sure is flukey according to v
>>345055473
Fall in terms of what? stock prices? console sales?
>>345055379
>Are they retarded or what?
Yes nintendo is a pretty retarded company, they treated 3rd party support like niggers in the 50s with the wiiU and expected them to create more games for their ipad console
>>345049421
I PUSH MY FINGERS INTO MY EYESSSSSS
>>345054526
>I should know, I'm an investor
>>345054994
the basic problem is that you're wrong in your assumption, they had already lost the hardcore crowd and alienated all but their most dedicated fans by 2013. Also the WiiU had launched to mediocre results, proving that none of the Wii's soccer moms and casuals stuck with it.
Basically you misunderstood the state of things and are now surprised.
>>345051071
most people don't browse /v/, so they don't hold grudges against plastic boxes
>>345055587
they've treated them like that since at least the snes days
only in the past few gens has it caused serious problems, and they think they can just fix it by essentially contracting some third parties to make an exclusive game or two. Doesn't make much sense.
>>345055484
This, companies like mitsubishi or hyundai make that daily, and not even on their more profitable areas. Shit phillips makes $500,000.000 a year in semiconductors alone
>>345055484
In a week anon.
That's pretty impressive.
And it's added 7.5 billion to their market value.
This Nintendoomed shit is wearing thin. Every time they make even the slightest misstep, people call it the end of the world, but the moment they have success it's suddenly no big deal? It's nonsense.
>>345055749
this may come as a surprise to you, but Nintendo is smaller than Mitsubishi or Hyundai.
>>345055737
The truth that Nintendo may not want to recognize is that developers want whatever console is the easiest for them to support. Currently that is the PS4, last gen it was the 360.
>>345055432
>Comparing nintendo to a indie dev with one game
nice
>>345055576
Both actually. But my biggest gripe was that there were almost no new game releases.
Nintendo could have milked the shit out of their franchises but didn't
>>345055737
>they've treated them like that since at least the snes days
What? nintendo was pretty friendly with 3rd parties during the GBA, DS and Wii generations
>>345055749
>Massive major car companies and suppliers of basic standard components make more than videogame companies
holy shit. you think nintendo knows about this?
>>345049421
seeing as how they have a new one coming out in March, I would have to say "no".
Pokemon Go worked because it captured a generation that just got old enough to realise that life is fucking terrible. They saw this thing they always wanted from their childhood finally happen at a time when they thought everything was awful.
Nintendo has a stranglehold on nostalgia that no other company can compete with. Saying Nintendo will stop making consoles is like saying Disney will stop making animated films. Sure, they're few and far between and arguably worse than their predecessors, but there's always going to be a market for them.
>>345055809
>And it's added 7.5 billion to their market value.
so what? stupid shit like "omg is the ps neo real" adds millions upon millions to Sony's market capitalization, it means jack shit in the long run though because that capitalization is just temporary
>>345055931
Yeah, Iwata sucked up to them way more than Yamauchi ever did. Wii was also easy as fuck to develop for, it was literally 2 gamecubes attached together.
>>345049421
Hopefully they bounce back with something that's actually new and not just another variation on the Wii. If NX turns out to be a fucking WiiNU, then fuck Nintendo, let them stick to mobile games, the lowest hanging fruit of gaming.
>>345056014
A billion is a touch bigger than a million dear anon.
>>345056014
anon listen to yourself, you're just raving at this point.
Money is money, and that's always good. There's no way making 9 million a week is worse than making less than 9 million a week, which Nintendo was doing previously.
You should go to bed.
>>345055646
I admit I didn't care about the company, that's why I didn't knew they had troubles as far as 2011.
I only learned all this when Nintendo began to issue copyright claims to youtube channels
>>345056115
Well, Nintendo said they're abandoning the Wii trademark. I think at this point, anyone with the littlest bit of common sense would do that. The Wii brand is dead in the water.
>>345056213
They should have stopped it with the Wii.
Calling it the WiiU was a terrible mistake and I'm astounded they never owned up to that.
>>345055883
I could see from a business standpoint that developing a console with the most advanced specs and trying to market it could backfire, selling consoles at a loss or having the price be too high for most people. FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS was a catastrophe.
>>345055432
flappy bird was LITERALLY a rip off of super mario nintendo even sued him
When reggie said it wasn't about the hardware at this year's E3, I knew NX was going to be a gimmicky piece of trash that will flop. I'll be here enjoying the show, watching nintendo fanboys scrambling to justify their move to mobile and the failure of the NX.
>>345056349
I guess they though the Wii brand still had power behind it. They let last generation's success get to their heads. I admit I was a bit perplexed, seeing the Wii U for the first time, and didn't really think it was a good idea at the time.
>>345056349
They did though. I think all of their higher ups admitted in interviews that they botched the name and marketing.
At least the nx is generating some sort of mystery. Fuck I barely remember "project cafe" being announced at all
>>345056457
I'd suggest you play video games instead, that would probably be a more enjoyable use of your time.
>>345056457
>watching nintendo fanboys scrambling to justify their move to mobile and the failure of the NX.
Its no fun anymore, It stopped being funny when they started defending nintendo after leaving e3

>>345056154
>A billion is a touch bigger than a million dear anon.
If you followed the stock market at all you'd know that it means jack shit in terms of the long-term market capitalization of a large company like Sony or Nintendo.
For a company like MS a fart could cause a loss or gain of $1 billion in market capitalization
>>345049421
>>345050979
This.
Nintendo is simply just too proud/confident/Idosynchronic to really factor in market trends into what they are doing it all.
They simply don't really care about sales and are still a long way for having to be forced to by shareholders compared to most companies who will go in to damage control as soon as they see a slight shrinkage of growth.
Basically it's Donald Trump the game company
>>345057493
MS has a shitload more diversity than Nintendo anon.
>>345054994
No one cared about the Wii U.
Almost no one cared about the 3DS.
>>345055432
No, because the dev literally removed his app from the store. Did you forget that?
>>345054803
Has there ever been another video of her
Or anything?
>>345057924
Do you follow the stock market? Even Sony who is worth maybe 1/10th what MS is, experiences swings greater than $1billion based on shit that is entirely outside of their control.
I don't even know why I'm responding at this point, despite the Wii U being in 3rd place, Nintendo is not in a dire position financially.
>>345057493
fuck off
>>345055041
In fact they recently bought BACK a number of their own shares in order to get more complete control over the company.
This is just part of their new strategy to saturate all platforms with Nintendo IPs. They've got movies, apps, a console, even a fucking theme park in the works. Nintendo isn't gonna "go mobile" any time in the foreseeable future; if people had been actually paying attention to what Yakuza man has been saying over the past year instead of just shitposting on /v/ they'd know this already.

>no HD? Who cares, shit's expensive yo
>it's OK if porting to the Wii doesn't really work, it will have lots of great exclusives because it's the unique console and it's Nintendo
As it turned out, while there were still a few good smaller exclusivesgoddammit Atlus I want more Trauma Center, going its own way in terms of specs, controls, and internet fucking crippled it past 2008.
The most depressing thing is that if Nintendo keeps trying the Wii approach, they could collapse worse than Sega did; at least the latter left some damn good ruins towards the end.
>>345059943
>at least the latter left some damn good ruins towards the end
Like what?
>>345061428
>Skies of Arcadia
>Sonic Adventure 1 and 2

The Xbox also basically ripped off the Dreamcast for its online (and other things, just look at the controllers), though you could argue that was a mistake.
>>345050752
>>345050752
I can't see myself buying another Nintendo console for a long time after Wii U. Maybe the mini NES, but that depends on the image quality. If it's as dark and blurry as Virtual Console ill just buy an Everdrive.

Kill yourself frogposter. Considering they attack everyone, it's no wonder they are the first to be blamed for starting shit.
