| Soundwave said: Well now you're venturing into opinion-ism and that's fine, just don't present it as fact, which is misleading. My position on a console is actually quite clear ... you're right you won't see a new Nintendo console in 2015 or 2016. I though happen to think you won't see a new console in 2017 or 2018 or 2019 either. Nintendo is done with the traditional console business once they wash their hands of the Wii U disaster. And I'm not even sure if they will be the only ones, I think Microsoft is a 50/50 chance of jumping ship on dedicated consoles after this gen too. |
I presenting an argument. I took info and made points followed by a statement. Vast majority seem to agree.
I've seen your posts on this last traditional console. MSony already don't offer dedicated consoles. That is why they use 3GB for their OS and are essentially full entertainment devices with strong gaming components. Exactly what I stated they would be in 2011 or 2010 whenever my thread on that was written.
Nintendo will likely follow more of that path beyond what they are already doing sure. But Nintendo will definitely continue to offer a game console. It will likely be more of a hybrid device that integrates perfectly with portable/home structure. They are not abandoning gaming. Maybe add more to their offering, but not abandoning gaming on their own hardware.
