Why is Nintendo doing dual controls?
I was unaware that Nintendo was going to enable GameCube controls. I have been out of it alittle while because of sickness. (Not 100% caught up).
So why continue to support the GameCube controller.
#1.The Installed fanbase that doesn't like to change or wants to retain some sort of normality. (Example I love the new IP's but I hate Nintendo changing or ignoring their existing IP's)
#2.Nintendo promised to continue supporting the classical control design when they announced the Wii. Nintendo is a company that usually keeps its word!
#3.The classical control design is more practical and in competing with Microsoft and Sony the classical controller design is required!
Maintaining Nintendo's established user base is the most important thing Nintendo needs to worry about. Nintendo is selling millions of consoles to the new casual base but that new base isn't a long term reliable user base. Nintendo with its success needs to do everything it can to maintain its already enormous user base.
