They have to come up with that.... Their main focus was motion controllers, that was the risky part of the bussiness. How is that an obvious way to go? How is that the only option? I mean, if by "only option" you mean they had to innovate, and come out with something that would blow the competition away and take the industry by surprise... Yeah, that was the only option.That's why it was a risky move, and Nintendo was the one coming into this gen risking the most. Another choice was trying to compete with the HD's soly on graphics. It was an option, nintendo never lost a penny on the Game Cube/Game Boy era. I think they could have afford something like that... It wasn't a good option, but it was another option. Saying Nintendo didnt have options is stupid.... but if you say they went for the RIGHT option, well that's different. |
Yes, the Wii was their only option, that or release a console similar to what MS and Sony had (like the previous gen) and see yet another decrease Generation over generation. Profit or no profit, Nintendo couldn't carry on the way they were, it was reaching the point of them becoming irrelevent, imagin if they'd gone the same route as Sony and MS? They would likely have sold less than the Gamecube.
Unless Nintendo had any other innovations up their sleeve, then yeah Wii was the only logical choice for the company.
