Taking a look a thread title again, the purpose of this Nintendo Ultra is to attract the Sony/Microsoft crowd? If so then it's gonna fail no matter what, as hardware has nothing to do with it. It's all about the third partys, and no matter what Nintendo does they ain't gonna get their full support.

And that's exactly the point of this and another thread I made, to see what Nintendo CAN do to change that, among other things.

Perception and marketing, branding is a big part of that.

Nintendo need to rethink their own stradgedies rather than adopt others. I would have rather they had spent some of their huge cash reserves on expanding their studios. 

So rather than release a new console that is call "Nintendo Ultra", they should open a studio called "Nintendo Ultra" that caters for all the game types missing from their current system. This studio can do "more realistic" games whilst the regular developers carry on with the "Pixar" type games.

The GameCube was about equal to its competitors and still got chewed by the 3rd parties. Equality doesn't always result in equality.

It would probably never happen and some would say it would be a bad idea but if I was president of Nintendo I would talk to Sony about cross platform gaming even if it is limited to the Japanese market. Obviously the games will be Nintendos. Now that would be a revolutionary change.



^This! Well except that last part. Nintendo + Sony together would be a dream come true, but I've already come to accept the reality of that never happening sadly.
