Just few examples why discussion is pointles with you: Its pointles to say something like that because you could say same thing for every platform, PS4 could sell better if it had even stronger lineup but also PS4 would sell worse if has worse lineup, same goes for Switch, it would sell better if has better lineup, but also would sell worse if it has worse lineup. Point that Switch is selling very good means Switch lineup is good at least. 8 confirmed Nintendo/exclusives games and only only is a port (NSMBU, Yoshi, Deamon X Machina, Town, Luigis Mansion 3, Pokemon, Animall Crossing, Fire Emblem). He clearly said he is uncertain if engine could run at Switch, he didn't said that engine cant run on Switch. If big 3rd party AAA are main reasons why some platform is successful or not, Switch wouldn't be so successful and offcourse Wii wouldnt hit 100m in sales. You need to realise that different platforms have different apealing, especially when comparing Nintendo platform with Sony/MS platforms.
Like I wrote, I dont see point discussion with you, simply you posting so much things that dont make sense and I completely disagree with you, so I dont see point of further discussion, so now I will not reply to you any more. |
I don't know if you realised this but, despite Switch's success, nor the PS4, nor the XB1 suffered. Which means that Nintendo could have at least done that much more.
And despite what happened last year, PS4 is still putting a fight - if not winning.
I know that in certain situations you can't do more, because the market is not infinite. But in this case, don't try to convince me that it's pointless to ask for more when it's clear that in pretty much every regard, things could be way better: better sales, better 1st party line-up and better strategy in this regard, too.
He said it's uncertain. Which is exactly what i said.
What i wrote: "On the other hand, we might not get Rage 2 because of the engine not being able to allow that port."
I said might. I never implied that the game won't happen.
Again, Switch and Wii were a success, yes. But they were the exception to the rule. Not the norm. And you can't judge the value of what is the norm by looking at the exceptions.
I never said Switch wouldn't be a succes if it didn't have 3rd party games.
What i have repeatedly been saying is the following:
Those big 3rd party games are what the market has wanted, wants and will keep on wanting; When you see Sony and MS fighting for them, you can bet they are relevant!
Switch might be a success (winning a battle as i putted it in a prior post) but that probably won't change anything as that same success came from factors that were very, very good to Nintendo and won't repeat anytime soon: brand new concept (it can't be repeated); return to form for the Zelda and Mario franchises (don't expect that effect anytime soon); several system sellers in the first 10 months (may or may not happen in the next gen); it came out at a time where PS4 and XB1 already had quite a big userbase - from which most of the sales (70% of american owners own a PS4 and/or XB1) are coming. That's why PS4 and XB1 sales didn't go down despite the 15 or something million Switch's sold.
I also said that the only structural change that i saw, and one that can help sell the next console, so far, was that Nintendo is bringing all these online games like Fortnite, Arena of Valor, Warframe, etc.. For the first time in a long time, Nintendo is insync with gamers.
Like i said, please, don't keep ignoring what i write and putting words in my mouth.
If you disagree with me, that's one thing and i accept that. Saying that they don't make sense, it's just not true.
