Super Mario Run Did Not Meet Sales Expectations!
Super Mario Run Did Not Meet Sales Expectations!
Nintendo has admitted that Super Mario Run did not meet sales expectations. But the company is refusing to admit its pricing was a mistake. Nintendo�s argument to their shareholders is that the primary goal of the apps is not to make money, but to raise awareness of its consoles games and its characters in general. Meanwhile, Nintendos strategy RPG Fire Emblem Heroes has a "freemium" price model, and has proven to be a massive money-maker for the company. Despite its success, however, Nintendo has no intention of shifting entirely to a free-to-play pricing scheme for all of its future mobile games. According to a senior company official, Nintendo sees Fire Emblem Heroes as "an outlier" and they "honestly prefer the Super Mario Run model." Despite not meeting Nintendos sales expectations, Super Mario Run reached 50 million downloads in late December. Nintendo plans to release two to three mobile games every year going forward.
I once said that Nintendo should have stuck to the 3DS but apparently the mobile is where the $$$ is at. If I were in charge of a huge company I would put the Nintendo Switch and 3DS first instead of losing out. But then again you cannot tell Nintendo what to do. If people wanted to experience a handheld Mario game all they would have to do is buy New Super Mario Bros on the DS or 3DS but no people dont think that way but like said the price was too high which is why the mobile game didnt meet sales expectations.
