The real reason why Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is going to fail...

Because it is on the Wii-U. Not many gamers play on a Wii-U these days.

Nintendo's current attempts at aiming towards a Hardcore gaming audience are truly becoming obsolete. Can't they realize that they are not the top company anymore? Most gamers are hassling on either an Xbox or a PlayStation and no matter what game is on the Wii-U (be it Bayonetta or Sonic) it will still be behind on a top 10 list (professionally made, of course). By 2014, it will always be behind.

They use to own the Killer Instinct license, fun fact, but sadly that game is Xbox property now. So, Nintendo is out gunned, out matched, and out played as of this point. It is only a matter of time until they end up like SEGA and become simply a publisher... and to be honest, I think that is a great idea.

Then, we would be able to play their games on other consoles. This would be the best opportunity for them to start rereleasing their games on other platforms and with that: brings more $$$ since gamers on those consoles will most likely play them out of either nostalgia or simple interest and curiosity...
