The original home game console Wii proved to be a real success for Nintendo, outperforming all the consoles of that generation by the number of copies sold. Therefore it is not surprising that the new version of the Wii U Nintendo had high hopes and thought that it could sell new white boxes even more. But, alas. The company's requests were too heavy.
During the meeting of the company's investors Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima told that initially it was expected that the new Wii U game console could disperse more than 100 million copies simply because the original Wii console could boast of the same sales.
"At an internal meeting of sales representatives, someone said that we could sell 100 million Wii U gaming systems around the world. This assumption was made on the basis of data on successful sales of the original version of the Wii console. "
Unfortunately, these forecasts did not materialize. The latest reports we heard about in July 2015 said that since the beginning of sales, the company was able to sell only 10 million Wii U set-top boxes. It is unlikely that Nintendo could greatly increase sales during this time and realize another 90 million consoles.
Many are now looking forward to the upcoming new Nintendo console, codenamed Nintendo NX. She had already been baptized as a "savior" for a Japanese company. However, Nintendo is now taking steps to conquer the mobile market, and it seems that it is beginning to bring some successful results. Take at least recently released and already had time to win the incredible popularity of the game Pokemon Go for mobile devices. In other words, even if the NX "does not fire", the company will have a field for maneuvers.
Be that as it may, a new console is expected in March 2017. More detailed information about the new gaming system we expect to receive this fall.
