| RolStoppable said: Your first and third point contradict each other. You can't take PR as gospel when it suits you and dismiss it when it doesn't. Besides, it's not even true that Nintendo said that about the Wii (point 3). The whole hardcore vs. casual context only came into existence after the Wii had become successful in order to diminish Nintendo's success. 2. The GC was sold at a loss, albeit a smaller one than the Wii U. 4. A second screen for maps and inventories is not the same? Of course the Gamepad is more advanced than the GC-GBA connectivity, because technology has improved over the course of ten years. Off-TV play is a new feature that comes as a logical evolution of the concept. |
They said that they are trying to get the hardcore gamer, but they are also not trying to compete with the other two. That isn't a contradiction, and it is true.
They weren't selling that feature with the GCN. That's completely different. One is describing the possibilities, and the other is describing a core hardware design decision.
