Nintendo loses money for the 3rd straight year. [UPDATED]
For those of you who like to argue that Nintendo will be fine. Who like to argue that the 3DS is selling well enough that it more than makes up for the Wii U's losses. Who like to say that Nintendo detractors are 'just hatin' and 'have no idea what they're talking about'...
[url=http://news.yahoo.com/wii-u-officially-disaster-nintendo-slashes-sales-forecast-123512934.html]I offer this rebuttal.[/url]
Will you Nintendo-philes listen to reason now? Maybe actually see that the company's poor choices and stubbornness are killing it?
Checkmate, Nintendo. Checkmate.
*** UPDATED INFORMATION *** As much as we (as Gamers) may respect Nintendo for their proud history; [url=http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/nintendo-slashes-fiscal-forecast-lousy-wii-u-sales-170745376.html]it really is that bad for them financially...[/url]
*** UPDATE 2 *** [url=http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nintendo-untraded-glut-sell-orders-003425026.html]And here is Nintendo displaying their stubbornness[/url] over these serious financial issues... It's their own hubris that has led to this decline, and it is that same hubris that may dismantle the company. Shame.

It seems every day there's a new Nintendoomed article or thread somewhere. Yes, the WiiU is a total and complete flop ATM. That's undeniable. But it alone won't kill Nintendo, and anyone who thinks it will is foolish. The reason that the WiiU is failing isn't due to people not wanting Nintendo products. It's an image issue. Sticking a 'U' at the end of the Wii name isn't going to effectively tell people that it's a new platform, it's the same issue the 3DS initially had. The console looks like a Wii, and the controller is the emphasis, making the general public believe it's just a Wii add-on. And the final nail in the coffin is that there is simply no marketing for the thing. Plain and simple. So all-in-all, will Nintendo die/be doomed/go bankrupt/go third party as a result of the Wii U? No. However, they definitely need a new strategy, as they simply aren't moving any units. We'll see if such a thing comes to fruition.
