| Miguel_Zorro said: I was looking at Nintendo franchises recently. The sales figures for Pokemon titles are stunning, over a long period of time. However, the vast majority of these sales have been on handhelds. Why hasn't Nintendo brought flagship Pokemon titles to home consoles? The franchise sold tens of millions of copies on each of the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and DS. It will do the same on the 3DS. The only Pokemon titles for the Wii were smaller titles that didn't really capture the Pokemon experience. Why is Nintendo essentially limited Pokemon to handhelds? Could you imagine if they hadn't released NSMB for the DS? This feels like it's almost on the same scale. |
Cost, making a main Pokemon game for WiiU would take more time and cost a lot more than for the 3DS.
