I kinda have to agree with the OP, though it's way too early to tell how things will go down just yet. Had Nintendo gone with a more powerful system that could get ports from PS720 they could have taken this gen to town.
But let's not forget that 3rd party games don't do well on Nintendo consoles! Now, whether or not that has to do with that the 3rd party games that comes to Nintendo consoles are crappy versions or that people only play Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles I don't know, but fact is 3rd party games don't do too well.... |
they dont do well because of the demographic nintendo consoles sell to. lets be honest with our selfs and not joke aruond here, nintendo consoles mostly sell to kids, i dont see why people would take offense of that here but that is the reality. if you were going to buy a console for your kid what would you buy? a nintendo one. are there adults who buy nintendo consoles and enjoy them? yes, but they are a small niche. so when 3rd parties release games targeted at adults they just wont appeal to younger gamers who like games like mario. nintendo knows this, see their adds they always try to have the family having image (look at the recent Need for speed add). and the way they make their games they make it to appeal to kids. the animations, sound, humor and a lot of other stuff is created for kids to like. so parents buy nintendo for their kids, and their kids certainly wont be interested in metal gear or dead space.

Maybe you're right, maybe it's mostly kids that play the system - but what about their dads? Do they go out and by a PS360? If Nintendo made a console that got each and every multiplat game as Sony and MS got, wouldn't it make more sense to simply have one console for the kids and for dad?

i honestly cant give you a straight up answer because i dont like to talk shit out of my ass without any real evidence to it. but i would say some dads play with their kids, some dads just put the console in the kids room just for the kids, others just buy a ps3/360 because it has exclusives and features that appeal to adults more. and some dads dont even play video games.
@ bolded, it does but that isnt the case with consoles. the only console that could pull it off is the PS3, since it does try to have content for everyone. but i wouldnt say it pulls it of completely and that doesnt happen much
