I still think we will be seeinng the 3 ones again next gen. But for me there is irony is saying that Sony will leave when for me is the "only company I am 100% sure will make a next gen console" Metaphor to understand: Is like Nintendo would leave the all-in inpoker table while is winning and before the table goes for BIG blinds. Moving for backjack that has a dealer that sucks and requires less risk to join the game. |
"facepalm"
The poker table metaphor does not hold weight. Nintedo doesnt have to go 'all in' to release a next gen console, it is very unlikely that they will release a machine with Pixar quality graphics. Microsoft and especially Sony, are limited in that if and when they release a new console they need to beef up it's graphics to justify people upgrading, moreso since they've already anounced motin controls for their current systems. Now if Next gen is going to be an increase in graphics than that means that games will become even more expensive to make and an even bigger risk so yes you would have to go 'all in', unless like Nintendo you have an upgrade that brings graphical quality up to 360/PS3 levels, which becuase of the expanded market largely do to the Blue Ocean strategy, is less risky than now will all but guarantee that even if the Wii 2 doesnt do to well (which is unlikely) it will at worst cause Nintendo to lose most of the Wii money.
and cartriges could very well be the next format for Nintendo games.
