Shortly after Nintendo's Wii U announcement, their shares on the stock market dropped by 5.7 percent. That's unheard of, and is the biggest drop in five years for Nintendo. Yusuke Tsunoda, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities, said "There were high expectations from the new version of the Wii, and this fell short. People had expected to see something more at a big event like E3, but there wasn't really anything more than what's already reported." I can partly agree with Tsunoda because Nintendo's Wii U wasn't something out of the ordinary. If you think about it, their gaming line up is decent, but the product it self doesn't look too attractive nor promising. However, when the original Wii was announced, the reactions were similar. People had their doubts and weren't too psyched for it, but the Wii turned out to be quiet successful. It surely did fall short of people's expectations, but we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.
Will you guy's be giving your money to Nintendo for the Wii U?
Gamecube, first console. Loved it as a child. The Wii changed things in the gaming industry, but the ONLY flaw was FPS gaming and HD support. Imagine how far Nintendo would go with the making of a HD supported Wii, with a nice FPS add-on! They screwed it up...
Nintendo don't make em like they used too, they should hang up their boots and give up making consoles and stick to handhelds. or make something as awesome as the SNES used to be back in its day.
