Nintendo saves money on less hardware and make money on potential VC purchases from people, like me, who didn't play the vast GC library... and I guarantee you there are many times more people in my category than yours on Wii now and eventually WiiU. You're the 1%. |
The fallacy there is you're assuming that only people who actually use those features care about them. Netflix learned the hard way that consumers don't like options taken out, even if they don't use them. So your "guarantee" is disproven by real life events.
And you don't make money on a "potential... purchase" of anything. You make money on actual purchases, but that doesn't excuse forcing people to pay.
And your "1%" line is wrong, since the Wii sales to GC sales isn't even at 5X, not 100X, which is what would be needed to make it 1 percent.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
