| Scizor_99 said: I agree that overtly targeting kids these days is probably a bad idea, and agree that they should definitely taget adults more. However, if you're trying to say that NIntendo should use their next handheld to try to compete with Microsoft/Sony for the violent/mature crowd, i think you're sadly mistaken. 1. Do you think that the mature, adult gamer, to whom Playstation and Xbox have been almost exclusively geared towards since their inception, have very much interest in moving to, or double-dipping with, a product from a company that typically targets the opposite of what they like? 2. Do you think that the mature, adult gamer, who usually prefers ambitious games on powerful hardware, would buy a device with a tiny display and significantly weaker hardware (although understandably so)? |
This, that crowd are the group who say they'd rather have a said game on console and in the end this is the root of the problem that has hit Vita, it's predecessor tried the same approach and ended up selling for far different reasons. As handhelds go a broad approach is always best.
