3DS is selling too weakly (probably will barely manage 10 million in shipments this year ... lowest Nintendo handheld shipments since 1996) to be able to carry a 6 year life cycle especially when Wii U is selling like a turd. So 2016 is a go for the Fusion handheld IMO. It makes sense too, AMD recently mentioned they have 2 large contracts for 2016 with regards to be a mobile GPU ... I think Nintendo is one of these contracts as AMD doesn't exactly have many partners for mobile components. A Nintendo hub game made specifically for Amiibo just makes sense. People are going to get tired of certain Amiibo having very limited functionality, so making a game like this will make sure each Amiibo toy has useful functionality. Plus it will sell a lot. A no-brainer. |
Why would a new handheld sell better than 3DS?
It is selling bad, but not because of power. And also, the price of a wii U powered handheld would surpass the 3DSs. And they dont need an expensive handheld.
How much do you think a handheld so powerful as wii U would cost?
I think it is the main point. But i dont think they can deliver a handheld as cheap as 3DS. At least not in 2016.
About the amiibo exclusive game, i agree. but if not free, very cheap. not more than 20$.
