Wii U’s Perceived Failure Rests Squarely On Iwata’s Shoulders
We know that Nintendo is heading back to the drawing board after having to drastically adjust it’s Wii U sales forecast. A slew of industry professionals and financial analysts have weighed in on Nintendo’s current situation. Yoshihiro Okumura of Chiba-Gin Asset Management Co. in Tokyo said the blame rests with upper management at Nintendo stating,
“The Wii U hasn’t sold well because of Iwata’s misjudgment,”
“He needs to show a new strategy.”
Recently, Iwata did mention plans to execute a new strategy for Nintendo, citing the mobile gaming space as a prospective market that Ninty has yet to tap. Hopefully Iwata and company can formulate a new plan that will revitalize Nintendo. Wii U may have only been on the shelves since November of 2012, but drastic action may have to be taken to forego it’s perceived failure.
