| Phoeniks.Wright said: As for the home/TV experience you mention, it only makes sense if Nintendo wants to move away from just Video games. Otherwise, it's useless. Games won't get better thanks to apps. Unfortunately, as you mention, Nintendo seems to be heading in this direction, as much as that's a terrible idea, so I can only argue as to waht they should do and not what they're going to do. It just shows that Nintendo can be a very stupid company. |
The thing is, people want more than just games from consoles and handhelds now. Even though games won't get any better, they would gain more buyers with those features than by not having them. Sales of the console would be dramatically lower if console is only game console.
You can see how big game markets iPhone, Android and iPad has and how it is threatening Nintendo's handhelds (even though sales are still good). If Nintendo doesn't add similar features than competitors, it could be destroyed by competition in the long run.
