Would have died bcoz of RE5. Tell me how well did Bionic Commando sell last week, and thats a game that has been hyped and produced by a huge 3rd party?
Yes it would have sold more but game length, black and white color and all those technical issues (widescreen support, etc) would have turned a lot of core gamers off. No online (blah f-----ing blah)
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
