| shams said:On the other hand, if Nintendo wanted to be MEAN - they could MURDER the PSP pretty easily. Bring out the next-generation (high-end) DS, that competes/beats the PSP on every level... more RAM, nicer screen(s), excellent (Wii level?) 3D and more. But this would impact their profitability in the long-term, so no need to do this now - Nintendo would rather make money off software than hardware :) |
You're suggesting that a lack of power is holding DS back, which I think is wrong. They are restricted only by supply and game selection...
Regardless, Nintendo has stated repeatedly that their goal is market expansion, not "winning" the console race.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
