Nintendo is understandably in a lot of pressure after revising the forecast for the Wii U and 3DS. (3DS, Industry, Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, Wii U)

Iwata should retire. Give the job to someone else.

Just to play Devil's advocate, he didn't actually imply that.

This is the quote used in the article:


And that "achieving it was his commitment."

Seems I made the mistake of using facts in favor of Nintendo on an article that proposes something negative.

I should have known better. These articles are havens for anti-Nintendo trolls and the bitterest of sony fanboys. Doesn't matter if its true or not with them. You can't speak positive of Nintendo or negatively of sony in any form.

you definitely cant speak negative of sony in N4G

I give you that much.
EffectO  +   526d ago
Don't worry,the same shit will hit Sony too.We shall see how resistant they are but I have a feeling that n4g will be melting left and right over PS4 Japan performance.Things have changed a lot since 2005...
Funky_Homosapien  +   526d ago
Wait so you guys are complaining that he created a casual console(wii) that was the world best selling console? Before the WII nintendo was so behind in sales with gamecube and n64 compared to playstation.

Yeah we don't care about sales though, Nintendo back then were amazing.

Ever since the Wii and their high sales they've changed
AJBACK2FRAG  +   526d ago
but between the Game Cube and the GBA Nintendo made tons of money.
mcstorm  +   526d ago
What is with all the doom and gloom over the WiiU. How many PS3's did sony move in its 1st 3 months of being sold? The WiiU will be fine and sales will pickup once Microsoft and Sony bring out there next gen consoles as this is when people tend to move to the next gen consoles when everyone has them out.

I don't know what the panic in Nintendo Camp is all about.

The 3DS is going to be a gigantic money maker for them and the bestselling console of all time.

The Wii U is currently sold at a $21 loss but makes up that money when its owner buys a Mario game, which the person usually does. Plus the future will bring a reduction in manufacturing cost for the system and a break-even.
Even if Wii U shares the same fate with GameCube it is still going to be great times for the company.
KMCROC54  +   526d ago
Wouldn't it be easier to for Reggie for over selling without a detailed explanation of what WiiU really is meant to be to the confused masses'.
RuleofOne343  +   526d ago
*You meant Fire Reggie* Cause my thought were WTF.
OllieBoy  +   526d ago
Nintendo needs to shake things up. Wii U sales just aren't slow, they're pretty much catastrophic. And the 3Ds is nowhere near the beast that the DS was.

They need to start getting serious about third-party support as well. It's basically non-existent in the west.
wiiulee  +   526d ago
lol iwata should be relax cause haters will hate but once the games hit, wiiu is ahead to stay for good
MadMen  +   526d ago
WiiU will be a failure in comparison to Wii sales, he likely will have no choice.
a_adji  +   526d ago
If anyone of you read the actual article please point out where he implies that he will stand down? sensationalist headline.

it#'s crap journalism like this and every tom and dick having an opinion that is messing up this industry.

Geeks with voices on the internet lol. wow.
DarkBlood  +   526d ago
nothing to fear on this end, im enjoying the console and looking forward to those upcoming titles announced for it, going to be great times
a_adji  +   526d ago
It's one of the best and creative consoles in a while.

it has it's faults but I love it.
jacksheen0000  +   526d ago
Wow, I really feel bad for Nintendo, I really do.
strigoi814  +   526d ago
go start packing. if sony and MS release their console..wii U shall be removed on the shelves guaranteed
sitharrefus  +   526d ago
If it happens I hope who ever takes over decides to actually match or surpass its competitors next gen.
TenkoTAiLS  +   526d ago
I can't believe people still believe these doom articles. It's already well established and proven fact regardless of their recent losses that they have more money in the bank than both Microsoft and Sony's game divisions. And both of those companies make far more than a $21 loss on each system. It's making a mountian out of a mole hill, Nintendo isn't going anywhere. And considering their last year report by outside financial companies said they could take a loss of far more than they are currently for the next...what was it 30 years or something and still be in the black, I don't think they are hurting anywhere near what these articles would have you believe. >.<

changing market
the problem is not nintendo or iwata. its the rapidly changing technology market.

nintendo were extremely smart with the wiiu, incorporating elements of the tablet. people say its shit and a gimmick, but im sure sony/microsoft will go a similar route.

but the problem is, are people even interested in 'home consoles' anymore? i mean, a handheld was always seen as a slightly 'weak' console you could carry anywhere. but now you have tablets which are very powerful, on par with consoles- that you can take everywhere. so the console is losing relevance.

people bash nintendo and the wiiu, but i predict sony and microsoft will be met with the same 'disappointing' sales figures when they release their next home consoles. that is assuming they take the same form as the consoles currently on the market.

i doubt iwata will resign any time soon.

Fanboyism, Tech-bias (the fastest must be best), conformity, and sabotage...
The problem is the Shareholders - it has very little to do with sales.

Nintendo's stock is under-valued (for a company that made the Wii) no matter what they do-

And the board are looking for a scapegoat to re-invigorating stock market shares.

Like making closing a business and then saying "Under New Management" or "Re-Grand Opening".

The Nintendo shares are kept down by people like Pachter who advise non-gamer brokers what Electronic Companies to invest in.
Also, journalist.

Fanboyism, Tech-bias (the fastest must be best), conformity, and sabotage (people who plant the bug that shareholders can make more money from Nintendo if they make only software) - all make add-up.

Just remember without Nintendo there would likely not be a Playstation or Xbox.

Respect guys, lets see it.

Title is poorly done IMO

Sony drones and stupid journalists are destroying the game industry with all their full-retarded bashing/hating on the internet.

Really. Wii U got a better start than xbox and ps3. 3DS is crushing the already money-printer machine DS numbers, PSV is even out of competition.
Ppl ask for the end of friend-code, Nintendo do it. Ppl ask for third-party Nintendo brings a launch list with more than 15 third party titles. Ppl ask for free app, Nintendo Brings, Hulu, Youtube, Google Street, etc. AND THEY STILL COMPLAIN!
Hope these full-retarded hormone bombs just get over their stupidness and learn how to enjoy/respect different machines.

Mr. Iwata, Nintendo is doing fine, keep working hard.

Move on
Hicken  +   525d ago
Only the Sony drones, huh? Not the Microsoft ones?

Not Nintendo ones, like yourself?

Is this what you'd be saying to Kaz about Sony?

Oh, we already know the answer to that, don't we?

The Wii U is, as it was before launch, in a precarious situation, because Nintendo has not established a real identity for it in the public eye. Not that I'd expect you to admit that.

Are people "full retarded hormone bombs" (what the hell does that even MEAN?) because they're not sold on Nintendo? You're not sold on Sony; what ridiculous name should we call YOU?

The next fiscal year is a LONG way away, and a lot can change in that time. No need to commit suicide over an implication of something that MAY happen a year from now.

lol, and you call other people drones and fanboys.
