That sounds pretty neat, but after reading it I thought of something else Why not make two versions of the same console, one with more power (call it A), and the other with the new innove controller thingy (B) and each had there own library of games If someone with version-A wanted to play the version-B games, they'd buy the add-on (kinda like Kinect/MotionPlus's situation) - - - The problem would arise if someone with version-B wanted to play version-A games (like next gen 3rd party multiplats)... Could Nintendo offer an upgrade solution the same way a PC would have? Like leave a slot for expansion or maybe send the console in for the upgrade? Of course the system's architecture would have to build with this in mind, but I kinda like the idea |
How is that different that what Nintendo is (presumably) doing now? The 'cafe' is system A and can play all Wii games (if you own/buy a Wiimote). Wii becomes system B here but obviously with that issue - can't be upgraded - unless you buy a Cafe which also plays all your current Wii games (then sell the Wii or move it into another room).
I think that's the very dynamic Nintendo is going for. Get non-gamers hooked with Wii, then if/when they want to upgrade the 'Cafe' becomes the obvious choice because it plays all the games they already own and all the games they want to (3rd party HD titles) plus some unique stuff all to itself.
What it won't have are Sony's strong first party line-up which will continue to drive PS3 sales.
