Expanding an ecosystem isn't abandoning it. There is nothing to stop them requiring a purchase of one of their consoles to allow you to play on other devices. They would just be adding value to people who buy into the ecosystem, something they should all be trying to do.

And the reason they haven't done it might just be because it requires a shift to digital formats. Or they are slower with these things like with their online system.

We're retreading familiar paths now. I know you love this idea so much that you can't see how it would damage the company in the long term, IN SPITE of the fact that you have posted in threads discussing statements where the Boss Man explains why.

Iwata is very polite, especially when he would like you to understand something.

You have shown that you have no intention of understanding why this idea is terrible, and Iwata has officially expressed no intention of implementing it.

Iwata brought us the Wii U. Excuse me for not wanting to take his business advice as the final word.
