GameStop believes in Wii U, says it will pick up with first-party arrivals
GameStop may be disappointed in the Wii U’s performance over the past few months, but that doesn’t mean the retailer has given up on Nintendo’s system.
Following GameStop’s latest earnings call, CEO J. Paul Raines chatted with GamesIndustry about a few topics including the Wii U. Raines noted that the company believes “Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months”, though said “there’s more there when the first-party titles come out.”
“This industry has a lot of cynicism and people love to say stuff isn’t going to work, but we think the Wii U is a real console that’s been disappointing for a couple months, but we think there’s more there when the first-party titles come out. Nintendo’s got a few up their sleeve.”
