| Otakumegane said: North America sure is trained to love shooters nowadays. It wasn't this bad during the 5th-6th gen. While the NA market is obviously the most important for consoles, I think that it's also looking to be the fastest shrinking one. It has the most "alternatives" to gaming with new ones emerging. |
Even though Nintendo loves to roll out the "we do the opposite of MS/Sony" line one has to wonder if it's a smart strategy to employ *all the time*.
The irony is the modern FPS shooter craze on consoles really started on a Nintendo console, as the N64 was really the first "shooter box" with GoldenEye and Perfect Dark and Turok and others.
I think they probably should've kept a presence in this market segment.
