One of the main lessons learned is to offer a firm flow of games.
It is curious to compare the transition from Wii U to
Nintendo Switch. Nintendo's latest desktop was a failure on commercial data,
with less than 14 million units sold worldwide. "Switch" is a very
good way to define what has happened to your successor, and Nintendo reflects
on the lessons learned in an interview with Business Insider.
Probably one of the most important reasons that have helped
improve the reception of Nintendo Switch vs. Wii U is the catalog. "[In
the past] we had a series of games, and then we went through a drought for a
while," explains Doug Bowser, vice president of marketing. Switch, on the
other hand, has enjoyed a much more solid release pace since its staging,
including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or ARMS.
"It has been a very important lesson that we have tried to correct and
seems to have worked."
Other facets in which Nintendo claims to have "listened
to the community" is the system itself. "If you look at the Wii U
hardware, just what the menu is - the time it took to boot the system, start
playing - was frustrating for many players," Bowser explains. The fact
that Switch was a portable console meant that for those responsible it was
"very important" to make sure to enter the game almost immediately. "Our
goal is to please the players."
