| Solid_Snake4RD said: Nintendo will not take such a risk and will do what makes money |
Regardless of the cost of the consoles, what the hell do you think the DS and Wii were, safe bets?
They were not sure of their success, and they most likely would have struggled without a console on the market next gen.
“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.
