| kupomogli said: I really don't. Nintendo tried to capitalize on yet another underpowered console where they can make as much money as possible for as little cost. Development costs and production costs. It just so happens that their greed caught up to them and they suffered because of it. They didn't catch the casual market and only the Nintendo fans will support them without third party support. With third parties dropping support because Nintendo fans don't support third parties, it's not going to draw as many non Nintendo fans. |
I agree that they did this to themselves but I don't think it was out of greed, just a lack of vision. The Wii was not an attempt to cash in on cheap hardware, it was Nintendo's vision of the future of video games, it worked splendidly until they foolishly dropped support for the console while they worked on the successor.
With the Wii U, they thought they had once again found something that would change how games are played but this time their vision wasn't shared by well anyone. Even their own games barely use the tablet controller but now they're stuck with it.
The funny thing is that if Nintendo really had been greedy, they could have just went with a super powered Wii. The money saved by not having the tablet controller could have been invested in getting stronger hardware all around.
Signature goes here!
