| The Fury said: They might be behind on hardware power but they are ahead in innovation and as we've learnt from this generation, that is what has won. An upgraded 'Wii' is needed and was only a matter of time. Maybe if they release early (1 year ahead of PS4 and X-box 720) then they can set the stage for the next gen, get Sony and MS to start development on their next consoles. I mean here in the UK, 360 came out in 2005, only 3 years 9 months after the original Xbox, so Nintendo have already waited a more time to start the next generation. |
Remember that Xbox was a financial nightmare (a box that was impossible to profit off of and was sold for a loss from beginning to end), so Microsoft had great incentive to cut its life short
A better example would be Game Boy Advance, which lasted 3 years 3 months in the USA, despite being undisputed handheld king of the age and a real moneymaker for Nintendo
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
