| MoHasanie said: I think people will still buy old games for nostalgic purposes. Not everyone keeps their old consoles and many sell old games. But how much does it cost to bring back old games? If people weren't buying them then they would stop making them. Clearly its still making them money. A console that is just as powerful as PS4/XB1 will be a good decision for 3 years until PS5 and the next Xbox release. And then again Nintendo will have the weakest console. |
But they won't have new consoles until 2020. They are actually doing half decent. The Wii U's successor will be out in 2016 because the Wii U is doing do porely. Maybe the Wii U will get new swansong games for the rest of 2017, then it's all on the new console. That gives Nintendo 4 years of being on par with the PS4/XBO, as opposed to 1 with the Wii U with the PS360. The Wii U wasn't too early, it was too late. The SNES was released what, 2 years after the Genesis? This would be the same thing.
I think you're severely overestimating how many times people will be willing to rebuy a game they know shouldn't need to over and over gain. How much does it cost to once again rebuild the libraries of 3 entire consoles while still needing to get on with building the libraries of newer ones like the GB(C), GBA, DS, and GCN? More money than they care to waste a third time on.
