GC ports only affect a few million people at best.
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.

What blows my mind is that the model isnt even cheaper. WHen SOny did it, it was to lower the price, so what is the point of Ninty removing the feature?? What Superchunk said is crap, he'd rather spend more money on VC games than just going out and getting the orginal GC game?? That makes no sense

make more money?

good for Ninty, but that doesnt help the consumers??
