Reggie Fils-Aimé, former Nintendo boss, opened up at a recent NYU Game Center event about the Wii U's struggles. He pointed out that the slow release of popular games and tough competition from Sony and Microsoft hurt its sales. After a promising start, interest waned as gamers waited for the next-gen consoles.
Fils-Aimé also shared how difficult choices were made, including scrapping one Wii U version and introducing classic microconsoles to boost sales. Luckily, plans for the Switch were already underway, and it has since become a huge hit, selling over 155 million units compared to the Wii U's 13.56 million. What do you think made the Switch so successful?
