Well, it depends on what you mean by "the games".

Releasing a lot of really awesome 'Hardcore' games (the kind you and I play) won't garner the success of the original Wii.

In order for Nintendo to achieve that success again, they'll have to think of another way to court the casual audience that bought the original in massive quantities. A Wii Sports Sequel? Seriously, how could they not have shipped the system with said game.. Whatta *&#@ up/oversight.

I think that was meant to be taken as a joke based on the way people tend to overreact to his Reviews/Articles.

It sounds pretty tongue-in-cheek to me.

@GSJones1994

Well, Sony's PS3 was/is doing quite well. Then they released the Vita..

The Wii U could be Nintendo's equivalent.

@daBrokenFace

I'm not sure exactly how powerful the Wii U is in comparison to current gen consoles, but it is definitely in their tier and not higher, yes.

I wouldn't really consider it "Next Gen" in the graphical sense. It's pretty much what the Wii was to the last console gen. On par with the previous gen, not the new one.

@jareed

Well, that wheel might not bring them the same results as the success of the original Wii.

These are the same tactics they used prior to the Wii's success. And I don't think it's what led to the overwhelming sales of the Wii. Trying something new is what led to that success, I feel.

@Alx1231

They are crap, but most people who bought the original Wii might not be able to recognize that.

@Alx1231 @BradBurns

This is true.

I think they still could have tried harder to recapture them, though.

That is very true, though. Fickle bunch, huh?

@Alx1231

Perhaps he means the "Hardcore" audience? As much smack as they tend to talk, they will eventually buy all the consoles anyhow.

This is especially true of the kind of people who hang around NeoGaf. Most of them are console enthusiasts and can be easily swayed into buy a new one with the promise of a new Zelda, Mario, etc.

This is NOT true of the "Casual" audience that was the backbone of the original Wii's sales. They have to come up with more clever things in order to court them again. Newer franchises and whatnot.

I don't understand why so many people are upset by this.

One of his main points was that Nintendo has become too predictable with their main releases. I think most Nintendo fans agree that Nintendo didn't always rely on the same 4 or so franchises so heavily.

All of these franchises exist because Nintendo used to take more chances with their releases.

There's really nothing too controversial about those statements.

PS2 was/is awesome.
