| DélioPT said: It's not like gamers never re-bought the same console because of a redesign. Offering a better model is not suicide, it allows Nintendo to attract more consumers who feel that that variant is more to their liking. More variety means more consumers. For exameple, when Nintendo introduced the 3DS XL they resonated with gamers who wanted a bigger screen for handheld gaming and didn't buy a regular 3DS because of that. |
Ya too many people seem to fear change for some odd reason, like if things aren't the way they have always been than something bad is going to happen.
Offering a wider variety of hardware options that share a common library isn't a bad thing at all and some people seem to think it's impossible for a console to succeed with that approach while completely ignoring that plenty of other types of products have been very successful with such an approach. Smartphones, Tablets, computers, televisions, etc all do this with tons of success, no reason why dedicated gaming devices can't do the same if executed properly.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
