True, but im not in the buisness of buying a console for one game. Especially when that game, by all rights should have been released on a console i already bought,but WTH

I had a ton of free time after my exam today, so I replayed NPC Pikmin 1 for the first time in a while... It's still brilliant, which makes me sad about Pikmin 3 jumping ship like that...

I honestly have a difficult time believing Nintendo are in the business of selling software above hardware...

edit: Also, I forgot to say I give this thread a 10/10 for making me go back and replay Pikmin!!

you have a hard time believing that??? There a buisness, they think its good buisness to move this game to Wii U and thats what they are gonna do. Wii owners be damned. IMHO the faster people accept that Ninty is a buisness and not your friend the better we all will be

I'm not sure I understand your response... Of course they're a business. According to Nintendo, they are in the business of selling great games, with hardware merely being a facilitator. But going by how they support some of their systems, it sometimes feels like they expect to 'hook' you into buying the hardware by promising great games, but then the moment you buy the hardware they move on to something else. To me that sounds more like software being a facilitator, not the other way around.

It's the kind of mentality that makes a company awesome in the eyes of its shareholders, yet annoying in the eyes of its actual customers, is all I'm saying.
If tomorrow for some reason there was an explosion in the dessert market and Nintendo decided to move on to making pancakes instead of games, would you still support them because it's a good business move?

As a customer who relies on them to fill a need, you probably would not.

What makes matters more complicated is that they aren't actually selling something as easy to evaluate as pancakes. In terms of home consoles, you only really know what you paid for five years down the line.

Any company selling that kind of product has to account for the consumer's trust, and gaining that trust must be a part of their business model.

This was the point i was alluding too, Ninty talks a good game sometimes but IMHO there actions dont match what they are saying. And they are not the only ones. Believe half of what you see, NONE of what you hear
