I figure we (or at least us grown adults who grew up on Nintendo) would see the patterns. They don't change.
Nintendo does what they feel is good for gamers. Fan feedback is loosely listened to at best, 3rd party demands don't concern them, competition and their agendas/console specs don't concern them, online networks are deliberately held back for their family image due to censorship (to protect the kids from online toxic behavior), core gamer centric marketing doesn't concern them.
They literally just make what they and they alone feel is right and put it out there.
That said, they still are responsible for making many timeless classics, but even current devotees of Nintendo have to see the flaws that come with the good.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
