The obviously don't need to be the ones that start the next generation, they are currently making heaps of money as is, but perhaps they will take the kick-them-while-they-are-down mentality. However your assertion that the Wii is underpowered due to Nintendo running out of R+D funding is fallacious. It was an intentional design decision, not one forced on them by circumstance. |
Agreed 100% on your first statements. That's exactly the point I was making: go in for the kill while they can.
However regarding the last statements, I never intended to insinuate that Nintendo couldn't have also gone more powerful if they had wanted to; they have billions in the bank, after all. I was just pointing out that clearly power was not their focus or where they spent money.
