| ChrolloLucilfer said: You still wrongly assuming that my philosophy is that Nintendo desperately needs Third Parties to survive, which is actually quite the opposite of the way I think. As I generally think it better to rely of first party to sell your console than rely on the unpredictable and sometime traitorous nature of Third Party support. There are other advantages to having a more high powered console Wii other than better Third Party support you know. Having a console on par with 360 could mean they could support the Wii console for a lot longer maybe even 5+ years. By then the world economy may be in better state to release expensive consumer goods and maybe even the Wii U could actual be fully portable Tablet console instead of been constrained to the home. |
The power of the Wii would have made no difference in the long run. In fact it would have hurt it early on as we're seeing with WiiU as Nintendo is hurting bad and upgrading their capabilities to make HD games, costs associated with the tech and thus final price of the console is simply too much to hit mainstream, and the game(s) that pushed Wii to the forefront of the generation had zero to do with raw power and everything to do with price accessibility and gameplay.
