| padib said: I also agree with him. However the point remains that the need to calm people down is testament to their lack of effectiveness. About the second paragraph, I agree. Dealing badly with a console launch is launching it with no games, first and foremost. Hardware design is a second issue, but it comes in second place behind software support, which is numero uno. |
It's not necessarily all about having a large launch collection. Having just a couple compelling games can really rocket a console in the beginning. For instance, the Wii. Wii Sports was something that no one had tried, so people bought it just for that. What enabled Wii Sports to not just be another sports game, though? The hardware. Hardware is what can completely change a game and is what everyone first sees when a console is announced, shown off, and displayed. It's what many people found cool about the Wii, the Wiimote.
However, I agree with you that Nintendo needs to be more aggressive. But more in general.
