Nintendo looks to new markets as Wii U sales flatline: 90 Seconds on The Verge
2014-05-08
remember the 80s will you be the one to
experience the Nintendo Entertainment
System my how things have changed it
Sammy Ellis hamburger and this is 90
seconds on the verge Nintendo announced
yesterday that it will develop new
consoles targeted at emerging markets
rather than making cheap versions of
existing hardware like the company has
done in the past Nintendo will build
these products from the ground up
Nintendo also announced that its first
smartphone app Mario Kart TV will launch
this month alongside Mario Kart 8 so why
exactly is Nintendo shifting gears well
its 2013 earnings report might have
something to do with that the company
reported four hundred and fifty seven
million dollars in operating losses last
year that's the third consecutive year
of losses for Nintendo much of this has
to do with the failure of the Wii U
total sales now stand at just over six
million consoles worldwide but let's not
forget that this is just one blip and
the company's long and successful
history the Hausa mario reportedly has
around ten billion dollars in the bank
thanks to many profitable years and know
that we use sales have been floundering
and the 3ds was slow to take off
Nintendo made three of the top five
best-selling game systems of all time so
what's next
this month's Mario Kart 8 is as close to
a guaranteed system seller as anything
in Nintendo's very successful stable of
franchises and if that's not enough
Nintendo is expected to lay out its
grand plans for the year to come at next
month's III for more on Nintendo check
out the verge coming up nintendo

game boy isn't it
