With the 3DS is not enough. Nintendo's reign in the mini-console does not replace the drop in profits in general, and the Wii in particular, which is becoming less attractive to the Kinect of Microsoft Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 from Sony. So the CEO of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, has announced that in 2012 there will be a new Wii on the international market.
A prototype will be presented at E3 Los Angeles, held in June, and there be known the first details of the machine, as Iwata did not pass. The announcement coincides with the presentation of the economic performance of the company that for the second consecutive year, declining sales and profits.
Sales of the Wii during Nintendo placed three years in the industry leader of entretanimiento mail, and does not anymore. If the Wii has a wireless controller, the Play3 too, and no need Kinect controls. The Wii's sales fell from 20.1 million units to 15.1 last year, and forecasts for 2011 is to place two million less units.
The lack of new games to pull is the main cause of decline in consumption. In the case of 3D mini-note (not the three-dimensional 3DS) things are not better. Sales fell from 27.5 to 17.5 million units and the company still expected to fall to 11 million. The March launch of the mini-notebook in three dimensions has not yet produced the expected results.
The tsunami of Japan has withdrawn consumption in that country, where Nintendo has its largest presence. Nintendo's operating profit fell 52% totalun and remained at 1,700 million euros.
