| RolStoppable said: Not anymore, because Nintendo woke up and went back to "software sells hardware" from "hardware sells hardware". Problem is that they made the Wii U with the latter philosophy, so it has to go through an extended period of suck that will burn Nintendo's money. By the way, Pokémon wasn't mentioned in the article to get the point across. The library is approaching a point where 10m+ sellers aren't as crucial anymore. This in turn is good news for the Wii U, because now Nintendo can focus all of their best efforts on saving that sinking ship. |
I think they wanted to have software to sell hardware, but they went with the idea to allow 3rd parties to provide that initial software. Trying to remove their own IPs to avoid competition. However, 3rd parties failed Nintendo and simply didn't provide that content or at least not the content needed to push hardware.
