| padib said: The honest answer soundwave is that I think it wouldn't have made a difference. People don't buy Nintendo consoles for parity or for xb/ps type games because Nintendo has not cultivated that market, and at every effort it does, their sales sink (it's even worse when their natural market sinks in tandem like with the WiiU). |
True, but then again, there would be pretty much no competetion for them for a full year, given how sick a lot of hardcore gamers seemed to be of this gen, perhaps a lot of people would have jumped ship simply because they didn't want to wait another full year. Throw in some better software planning on Nintendo's side too and it could've helped.
Hardcore gamers want hardcore games, no doubt about that, but I think many hardcore gamers still have a soft spot for Mario too. They just don't want to buy a console ONLY for Mario/Zelda, which is where Nintendo gets themselves in trouble with that audience.
