| Nuvendil said: No. Expectations of one market are not the same as the other. People buying dedicated gaming devices expect a minimal amount of support. Whether that support is there or not, actual upgrades shatter consumer confidence as they feel support for their device is under endless threat. Also, those specs are atrocious. A Wii U level home console launching in 2017? Better be $99 if you don't want to be laughed out of the industry and even then it would be a joke. You realized by that time, used PS4s and Xbone will be at or bellow that price. Shoot, new ones will be getting close to that price if not being there already. Also, Nintendo making a raw tablet? What would compel them to do that? That market is over saturated; it is a bloodbath for anyone not already established. Sorry, but the whole strategy in the op is full of holes and overall a dreadful plan. |
What do u mean a minimal amount of support? Each device is getting a minimum 5-6 years of support, games will scale up/down to each device so all games released during generation 2 will still be playable on generation 1 devices just at different resolution/graphic settings, it wouldn't be until generation 3 that gen 1 devices start to be unable to play latest games which is 6 years after release.
A Wii U level system can't succeed in 2017 just like a Gamecube level system couldn't succeed in 2006 when the rest of the industry was moving onto HD development and photo-realistic visuals......oh wait it sold 100 million and won the generation!!!!!! Obviously I'm not saying this device would sell on par or even close to Wii levels but selling 3-5 million/year (similar to GC/WiiU) is possible while being sold at a hefty profit.
I said with the same form-factor as Wii U gamepad so not a standard tablet.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
