| S.T.A.G.E. said: Nintendo needs to remember what made them so great. Third parties bolstering their first party ranks. Sony understood this which is why Nintendo fanfare was so easily lost. |
That was 20+ years ago now. Nintendo is a different company and third parties I think are going to be massively whittled down in the coming years.
They want to pursue the Hollywood blockbuster movie model, but the truth is the Hollywood blockbuster model only allows for a few huge budget movies every year from 5-6 major studios and that's basically it.
Nintendo I think removed themselves from that path years ago, and if Wii U flops, I think they'll push away from it even further.
They're also more in tune with the needs of the Japanese market, I think if the Japanese consumer rejects the idea of a home console going forward, then I think Nintendo is going to shift away from a dedicated home console as well.
Sony/MS can go ahead and proceed with their 32GB of RAM for next gen or whatever, lol.
