| Lyrikalstylez said: I don't understand why people think Nintendo is going to terminate the wii u in 3 years or so, if they make another console game development will only get more expensive which I don't think is a good idea for them in the long run My prediction is if wii u Sells under 20 million they will either focus on hand helds or go 3rd party or possibly go mobile |
3rd party is not going to happen. "Focus" on handhelds would be the easiest retreat, since by 2016 or so they could get Wii U-like performance out of a handheld (given the lower output resolutions needed, they could get games that "look" the same even without needing the same actual power) and that would be the natural time to replace 3DS anyway. Then a year or two after *that* they can introduce a "brother" system to the handheld, one with full cross-compatibility on games (upping the resolution for TV display), and a focus on local multiplayer games as its unique SP (since online games can be easily done on the new handheld).
Then instead of having their handheld and console cannibalizing each other and splitting their development resources, they're focused basically on one platform with that simply has two "channels."
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
