| Xen said: If they are going after core gamers, then I suggest they start making... 1. PS3's/PS4's 2. 360's/Nextboxes Because that's what the majority of today's *cough* "core" gamers see as consoles/brands worth their attention. Early? IMO, yes. In the beginning the Nextendo will be getting a good portion of ports from this gen's HD consoles, and after MS and Sony release the successors to their consoles, it'll get the Wii treatment because as far as power goes, it'll probably be quite pale compared to these two, failing to reach PS2-like audiences that made it the dominator of its generation despite being very much inferior to GC/Xbox power-wise. It simply lacks the appeal/hype. Price and library will also be factors, and while sure, you can get COD X on N6, why do so if you can get it on the cheaper PS3/360, with more games available on both to boot? Because that's how it'll be in 2012. They are lining themselves up for failing to achieve this objective... as long as PS3 and 360 exist and keep gaining strength with new ways to play, new games, and likely lower prices, they won't make a serious dent. |
you know what you say is sensible, but you're assuming WAY too many things in you're statement.
what makes you think PS4 and Nextbox will be more powerful than Cafe? Is it because thats how it was this gen. And how do you know Cafe is releasing in 2012 for sure? Just because Iwata said mid 2012 at earliest? That doesn't mean anything. Look basically what I'm saying is yes Nintendo is going HD and is obviously trying to recapture hardcore audience, but other than that, we don't know anything Nintendo will surprise us.
NINTENDO
nintendo forever . . .
