Wii

Sure, we all know most of the major news from Nintendo’s E3 2011 press conference: The Wii U was revealed, Luigi’s Mansion and Super Mario hit the 3DS, third-party developers finally got onboard with a Nintendo console… But there was plenty of other Nintendo-related news throughout the week, some of which you might have missed, and you really don’t want to sort through about twenty pages of E3 information here on Nintendo Everything. So here’s some other important things we learned about Nintendo’s games and consoles at E3 2011:


Very recently, Nintendo registered a ton of domains pertaining to the Wii U and other products. The company now owns sites for New Super Mario Bros. Mii, among others. For the full list, read on below.

Satoru Iwata has admitted two significant faults with the Wii. First, he acknowledged that the console wasn’t able to meet the needs of hardcore gamers. And, second, Iwata noted that Nintendo wasn’t able to provide an experience that consumers could view on an HD television.

This was in response to a comment posed to the Nintendo president that the Wii U appears to be appealing more to hardcore gamer and first-person shooters. He explained that, this time around, the Wii U is HD ready and that it should be “be as powerful as any other console”. Also noteworthy, Iwata said that third-party publishers have been open to advancing the shooter genre thanks to the new controller.

Iwata’s full response:

In the case of the original Wii, our intent was to extend the gaming population, but of course we needed to think about how we were going to motivate non-gamers to play with video games, so we came up with Wii Sports and Wii Fit, as well as how the Wii system was designed.

For example, in the case of our products, approximately 50 percent of our users are a female audience, the other platforms are around 30 percent.


May NPD: Wii, 3DS sales

Posted on 14 years ago by (@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments

The NPD Group no longer releases video game hardware numbers. And since Nintendo declined to put out a response for May’s NPD, official hardware numbers for the Wii, 3DS, and DS aren’t available.

Wedbush Securities, however, is reporting that Wii sales came in at 236,000 units. The firm also stated that the 3DS sold another 97,000 systems in May.

Wedbush provided the following commentary:

“The 3DS again failed to deliver the results we expected, leaving the industry outlook unclear near term. Without further price cuts for PS3 and 360, we expect hardware sales to trend down later in 2011, though we think that Sony and Microsoft may consider cuts around the holidays later this year. The Wii is likely to continue to have weak sales due to consumer anticipation with the Wii U, and we don’t expect the PS Vita to launch in the U.S. or Europe until next year due to supply constraints.”
