Lucas-Rio on 07 October 2012
Not strange at all.
I remember perfectly that Iwata blamed the Gamecube failure because it arrived too late on the market compared to the Playstation 2. That was according to him the main point.
Nintendo is in a much stronger position now. The Wii has been rentabilized to an extraordinary point. The 3DS has crushed the Vita. Nintendo is in position to force the market. They are the global leaders? Sony and Microsoft have lost a lot of money on their console since day one. They are now making profits on the xbox and the PS3 and want to make it last the most to recoup their losses.
Nintendo does not need to do it. They are the one leading the market, and the other two will be forced to follow before they expected.
