No, Nintendo has enough cash to survive for quite a bit. The problem with them this gen is: Casuals - The gimmick failed because you cant surprise a casual with tablet games and start a trend. Once casuals have seen it the glimmer is over, which is why its called a gimmick. - Where is are Wii U fit and casualized first party games? Thats all the casuals care about. -
-Hardcore gamers - Courted third parties enough to gather current gen multiplats, they WILL be cut off next gen to ensure multiplats maintain a high level of quality and realize their art direction based on high parameters let by third parties last gen. - They focus too much on the DS, and this probably isnt a bad thing in a way because the handhelds have always sold better than their - Console is severely underpowered by a large margin. Nintendo gamers love to trivialize this but its really no joke. Epic doesn't even think Nintendo should get Unreal 4 because of it. |
Just to counter your last argument, tablets and smartphones still get UE4. You can argue how much you want about how the games wouldn't be the same if ported from PS4 to a tablet/smartphone, but the engine is still available for those devices and that makes porting games possible, devices which are severely underpowered when compared to the Wii U alone. Wii U won't get UE4 because of any other reason but performance, since Epic themselves stated that devs could port UE4 to Wii U if they wanted but they wouldn't port by themselves. It's clearly something else going on.
