You realize more families have computers than gaming devices right? Nintendo's hardware has always been drastically behind even mid ranged pc's. Chances are computers from 2009 could probably play Wii U games just fine. This would eliminate an ADDITIONAL cost, not make them purchase a computer (as they already would have one). |
You know that a family computer isn't running Wii U games, right? Most families aren't buying even mid range PCs. Drastically behind is an overstatement when compared to the average PC in the average house. You know the types of games that run on every computer? Minecraft. Not Mario Kart 8, and definitely not something more demanding, which is what you'd get from a Nintendo-made PC game. And Mac. And Linux.
It wouldn't eliminate anything, because the games wouldn't sell. By the toy, buy the games. That's what works. PCs that aren't gaming PCs aren't cutting it, and there are exponentially less of those out there.
