That's not a comparable situation. By 2010 the Wii already had enough big games released for people to buy the system, so there wasn't any urgency to announce games a year or more in advance. Also, by 2010 third parties at large had already made up their minds that they wouldn't support the Wii with quality games and none of Nintendo's actions would have had any influence on their decision. |
But is it, really, any different now? Though I'll be the first to agree that if Nintendo is trying to capture 3rd parties into their success, then reducing their confidence over 2013 is a bad idea, but then the boost they would get from a Nov 2010-like performance would be strong. Maybe here is a case where you have more faith in 3rd parties than I do. Maybe I'm wrong.
With that optic in mind, I agree that a drought is a very bad idea and Nintendo should start churning the hype. With the pessimistic optic (3rd parties won't help regardless), probs the Nov 2010 approach is the way to go.
