Why Nintendo May Fall!

With it's declining sales of both the Wii and the 3DS there are many reasons for why Nintendo might fall! This year Nintendo is seeing it's lowest sales numbers in over four years. The Wii is quickly loosing popularity and the 3DS never really had it! In all reality Nintendo is lucky that the Wii had such a strong run. It is greatly underpowered and is in desperate need of an upgrade. This upgrade is coming in the form of the Wii U. In my opinion I think Nintendo has once again sold itself short. When you look at everything we know so far about the Wii U you can already see that it will be the Wii all over again. With all due respect it will be way more powerful than the current Wii BUT... not next gen powerful. It's what the Wii should have been in the first place! I'm not trying to upset the fan boys but even they have to admit that I'm right! Now, I'm going to try to stay out of the console wars as much as possible so thats all I have to say about that! Moving on to the 3DS we saw a lot of hype but unfortunately it seemed like Nintendo didn't even plan for its release! There weren't any games that were released with it that made anybody say "OMG I HAVE TO GET A 3DS SO I CAN PLAY THAT GAME"! The 3DS itself is an amazing concept but the execution was poor to say the least and I have yet to upgrade for that very reason. Looking back to E3 we heard Nintendo talk a lot about all the games that were coming to the 3DS this year and next and there were some exciting titles in the mix! One in particular really caught my eye and that was Smash Bros! They said that they were going to to a simultaneous release on both the 3DS and the Wii U! That game alone will get me to upgrade! Hopefully with all these up incoming releases it will boost Nintendo's sales and give them back their edge they no longer seem to hold over he gaming community! I for one would hate to see a gaming legend like Nintendo fall and I can't wait to see what will come within the next five or ten years! What do you think? Will Nintendo fall or will it get it's edge back? Please comment and follow!
