Eh. I think they can hold their own. As I've said many times on these forums, the Wii model is too risky. It worked the first time but it failed the second time. Without the right marketing, right gimmick, right price, and right games, the whole thing falls apart like the house of cards it is. If they release a system on par with the PS5 & Xbox 4, while they may not "win," at the very least it'll be guaranteed to sell a whole lot better than the Wii U because they'd have a system that third parties would actually want to develop their biggest and best games for. Nintendo got lucky with they Wii. They don't need "lucky," they don't need to make another risky innovation (assuming there's really anything left to innovate, and most of the more recent "innovations" are really tech that was already years or decades old). They need to play it safe next time. |
Quite honestly, to me that's living in the past.
That was back when the NES debuted and WAS Gaming.
Since then gaming grew, and now to most people Playstation is gaming.
Playstation is the dominate videogame brand name right now, even with the PS3's big failure.
Videogame systems seem to be lifestyle brands, the number of diehards on all sides willing to defend their console company about everything is proof of that.
The Hardcore are locked into their choices. Only by reaching out do you get new blood.
