| Busted said: Won't happen, to put it clean and simple nintendo is just out of the circle, the videogame industry is an upward spiral highway that every company, developers and hardware makers (not just consoles) follow, nintendo jumped out of it long time ago. they are in their own path, if others want to go and join them from time to time well, sure they are welcome but nothing will stop nintendo to keep moving forward in the path they've chosen, if someone had any doubt left today's events should have cleared it all up, they are alone. |
This Nintendo path you talk of is indeed a very strange one. This way does not seem to be very financially rewarding, at least not yet.
I know what you are saying and you make good sense but at the end of the day Nintendo is a business. They need to sell a lot of consoles and get third-party devs to sell games for those consoles. This isn't happening.
When you release a console and six months later there are still no big games but yet the company still expect it to sell well doesn't strike me as good planning.
Nintendo need to wake up to the fact that they are nothing in the third-party world. The wii proved that no matter how many consoles nintendo sells the third-party devs don't give a damn as long as Nintendo maintain the path of producing much weaker systems than their rivals.
Nintendo should have known that they can only depend on themselves with the Wii Uand build a solid business plan around that.
