Tech Article 4

The new Wii U console has not reached the quarterly mark that Nintendo expected it to be. The 3DS handheld has just been a disappointment outside of Japan. Nintendo does not embrace the new trends of technology. That is the reason Apple has been successful, trying to come up with the new thing. Nintendo has not been with the trends though. Nintendo tries to make their own new trend, but it does not work out. After inventing the Gamecube in 2001, the sales have plummeted. When the original Wii was created, sales shot up for Nintendo. Now they have created a different take with the Wii, but it is not doing well.

The Wii U is not making any large society changes like Apple. Nintendo is just trying to make ends meet and come up with the next new thing. After starting the Wii trend, they believe that they can do whatever they want and people will buy their products. This is not true in our society. We buy the newest and the best things. We want products that meet our everyday experiences and are fun. After playing the Wii, it loses its charm. New things came out like the Kinect where a controller wasn't even needed. Nintendo does not understand the wants of American people, only the Japanese.

  1. You stated that we buy the newest and best things, I agree because everyone has to have high class stuff nowadays. No one wants to have old things or trashy things.

  2. You stated that we buy the newest items. I agree because everyone is trying to one up everyone else and get the new things. When the iPhone 5 came out, everybody wanted it because it was the new thing. We always have to keep getting newer and better things.

  4. You stated that we buy the newest items. I agree because when the wii first came out many people went and got it just because it was new, so when they made the wii u they thought because it was new people would buy it. Sadly though they were wrong the only way they could save nintendo is if they started making a bunch of great console only games.

  5. You stated that the Wii isn't making any large society changes like Apple and I agree because Apple is always coming out with new technology like the Ipad, Ipod, phones, etc. I don't think that I can remember the last time that Wii has come out with something new. Apple is definitely popular.
