| RolStoppable said: You'll make tons of money by keeping the HD path? That didn't really happen though. But, of course, this is what third parties hoped as to how things would play out. This win-win scenario happened to be more of a lose-lose scenario in the end. Also, the Gamecube was easily on par with the other consoles last gen and Nintendo got ignored back then too, even though sales of third party games weren't significantly worse than on the Xbox. So what NIntendo really has to do is to leave third parties no other option and crush all competitors. |
1. I was thinking from the perspective of that time, when I said makes tons of money by sticking to HD path.
2. Gamecube was different in that by the time it launched it was already significantly losing to not only the PS2 by simply units sold but to the followup of the last gen winner (PS2 had tons of momentum). Nintendo shoudl never of let Sony get such a large headstart when PS1 had already had such a significant win the previous gen.
