| Avinash_Tyagi said: ^ NES launched in 1983 in Japan, so that's seven years, not five, ignoring the Japanese launch just to fit in with the Idea that it is five years doesn't not help your argument, NES was seven years out, and no Nintendo console since has been as popular or as dominant as the NES, only Wii looks able to reach that level, in addition Nintendo doesn't launch first, NES was an exception because the console Market was more or less non-existent when it launched, so why would Nintendo shorten to a five year cycle when its competitors have not launched? Your argument is flawed, Nintendo is selling the most why give that up to launch first and give their competitors a chance to copy them, while at the same time surrendering the sales and profits of the Wii? |
I couldn't care less about Japan launches, I'm talking about the North American releases from the NES onward, since NA is the dominant market.
Also, who's to say that the other console makers don't have something right around the corner, and possibly launch before the next Nintendo home console?
There's no flaw, there's just a visable pattern.
