Die Nintendo Wii U befindet sich momentan auf dem 2. Platz der Next-Gen Konsolen, diese Aussage stammt von einem Interview mit Nintendo of America Boss Reggie Fils-Aime von der E3 2014.
Er sagte gegenüber The Seattle Times: „The dirty little secret is if you look at life-to-date numbers, between Sony and Nintendo they’d be pretty close in terms of PS4 vs. Wii U, with Xbox coming in third place. I think it’s going to be a three-horse race for the balance of this cycle.”
Er glaubt auch, dass man keine neue Konsole veröffentlichen muss, da die Performance der Wii U noch locker ausreiche, man brauche nur bessere Spiele: “We think that the Wii U has a long and vibrant life in front of it. What it needs are games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros Wii U and Splatoon – those types of games that can really drive the installed base. We believe if we can do that effectively the Wii U has a long and robust life.”
Einen Schwachpunkt sieht Fils-Aime in dem schwachen Line-Up der Wii U zum Launch: “The interesting point there is that when we announced the Wii U and when we announced all of the launch details, we fully expected games like Wii Fit U, Pikmin, the The Wonderful 101 to be in the launch window. The Nintendo quality bar is really what kept us from launching those games potentially in February or March and so that’s what created the lack of software during that initial launch phase.”
Durch den Release von Mario Kart 8 haben sich die Wii U Verkäufe in den USA vervierfacht.
Das denken wir:
Nintendo bleibt optimistisch, ich sehe Nintendo ganz klar an dritter Stelle der Next-Gen Konsolen. Was denkt ihr?
