  • and other people are currently recommending the Ps4 over Wii U, regardless of games. Again, I never said that casual sales weren't important but the more consoles being released and also considering the rise of mobile gaming and as well as having the option to play on 3DS (which I would recommend over Wii U and Ps4) means that casual sales are getting fewer and fewer and will require a lot of

  • effort for nintendo to turn around. But also it isn't just Nintendo who are in trouble but Sony and Microsoft too. And to be honest I can't blame people for not being interested in any 8th gen console. 3 consoles per generation + exclusives + portable consoles + hype overselling games + lack of backwards compatability (games and controller, I know Wii U is baccomp but some owned a 360 or Ps3)

  • + rise of portable gaming + plus extortionate prices of games and hadware + peripherals + lack of space + new generation every 5-6 years + poor economic state + a LOT of games released each year are atrocious + much, much more = large and unnecessary inconvenience.

  • thinking the phenom of the wii brand wii carry over so they didn't advertise and taking backseat letting 3rd parties take the driver sewt both mistakes.Believe me if nintendo and they can still do it advertised with a more traditional play it loud style commercials it will cater to the core and if they advertised with the more of a wii will like to play style it will attract the general.....

  • casuals.Some remain casuals and others grow into core gamers.They all started and got interested in gaming by what? Yup advertisement including word of mouth.Its no difference from a casual boxing fan and an actual hardcore boxing fan in terms of passion. hbo pay per view needs both to make those sales and what yup make a profit.Or a better comparison a hardcore football fan and a casual fan.
