so you're saying nintendo's goose is cooked, they better just pack it up and go back to making playing cards? you seem to be saying everything is set in stone, nothing can ever change, etc., as tho the world is a kind of clockwork train that goes round and round on the same track with no deviations whatsoever. unfortunately that's not how the world works. tablets and smartphones didn't exist 7 years ago. now they do and they've changed everybody's calculus (the dualshock 4 has a useless touchpad, doesn't it?). that doesn't mean they'll always exist in exactly the same capacity, and the fact that tablet sales are way down in the last two years (to the point that google may abandon their own nexus line) is a good indication that that fad is dying down atm. we'll see, won't we? |
Yes ofc trends change, but the thing is Nintendo was building their console in accordance with the trends and its still not working for them. They can't seem to adapt to the trends, they knew where their target market went so they attempted to adapt to fit that trend, but they couldn't do it. The sole reason for the tablet controller is to attract that audience because it sure as hell doesn't have any must own gameplay features for gamers to go out in droves to get a Wii U. I'm saying maybe its time to target a different market.
