It seems that Nintendo is starting to acknowledge the dramatic state the company is really in. With projected sales figures for the Wii U dropping from 9 million units sold to just 2.8 million on the year. Even the highly touted Nintendo 3DS is having projected sales cut from 18 million down to roughly 13.5 million.
President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata was recently quoted in saying that the company would consider mergers and acquisitions as an option. The President is also reportedly taking a 50% pay cut due to the poor sales of the Wii U. Intel and sales models are something that Nintendo is intent on completely overhauling as they also stated that they really had no idea what to expect performance wise from a product until after it has hit the market.
Things at the moment are definitely not going well for the video game legend. Could it be that we will soon see an era where Mario and his pals will continue their famed adventures on other consoles? Could Mario and his friends have a similar fate as Sonic who has had a long suffering in a purgatory of mediocre games ever since Sega left the console market to become a 3rd party developer? Whatever happens these recent revelations about Nintendo can not be comforting for long time fans of the legendary video game company.
