Tomodachi Life is basically their most recent game that would be in this lineage, and while it sold OK, it's hardly something that's driving 3DS sales. You can only get lucky with these types of ideas so often. Maybe Nintendo should just make a purely casual console in conintuation of the Wii, with like nothing but games like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Cook, Wii Do I Look Fat In These Jeans?, etc. Sell it with a redesigned Wiimote for $130 or something (HD graphics, nothing fancy otherwise). But my guess is such a console today would not find a market, not with Apple offering an ecosystem of thousands of casual friendly games on a much cooler, more fashionable device for basically free or $1. Nintendo can't compete with that. |
Nintendo can compete with anyone when it comes to quality games and when quality is once again a factor for most gamers when buying a console. Nintendo will probably make a huge comeback.
