Tell me how a proposition like this really makes any sense for Nintendo? They will likely suffer huge delays with software having just gotten the grips of PS3/360 level development, get little/no third party support (same thing that happened with Wii U ... why develop for Wii U when PS3/360 have much large instal base), etc. etc. I just don't see it. Nintendo is not going to risk losing millions of dollars so that the 10-15 million people in the world who really want a "Nintendo PS4" 4-5 years after the PS4 has been out can have their itch scratched. It's a dead end for Nintendo. I mean I would buy it, probably you would too, but you have to understand this is an extremely small audience that you're talking about. |
As a Nintnedo gamer first I agree with you to a degree. The problem I see if they don't make a powerful machine it will get messacared by the media. The Wii U was massaccared by the same media outlets that praised the Wii (not refering to gaming sites which hated on the Wii but major news outlets).
This will further isolate 3rd party studios. However I think this is already a lost cause.
What you propose is fine as long as Nintendo is prepared to expand its studio relations and even create more internal ones where they create more games on their own. They will need to get to a point where they releasing a game a month with their own publishing. Nintendo need to get into a position where they have a variety of genres that caters to peoples needs (i.e. real sports games, racing games, they usual 1st party games, a fighting game that isn't smash also less mario in other small games).
