| mii-gamer said: I don't think a New Ninty console next year with an x86 archi thingy is a good idea. 1. 3rd party support is not guaranteed 2. They will be playing catch-up with all the momentum in favor of the competition 3. They will be screwing over their loyal fanbase They have to ride out the storm while attempting to build a stronger foundation for their next endeavor. i.e Build up their online, new ip's etc Sony is in a good position with the ps4, they just need to keep up the good work Microsoft should build up their first party strength to better compete against the ps4. A hardware design could do wonders |
Pretty much all this.
Whatever Nintendo does will be heavily criticised, but what you said about them riding out the storm is probably the best thing to do. Sales wise they have lost this gen but slowly and steadily building consumer faith with games and support will allow their next console to start off much stronger.
At this stage Sony can do no wrong, but I feel their momentum will drop if they dont seriously start supporting their console with more than 3 1st party games a year (sure Uncharted 4 will sell, and Bloodborne is hyped but I dont think it will sell that great, and Order 1886 might sell decently but is a delayed game, apart from that what else does Sony really have planned to wow their customers?).
MS are working on the rebound. They dropped the mandatory Kinect and are focussing more on games now rather than TV and sports like they did initially. A cheaper redesign would definitely help.
