etuoyo said: I don't get this Fusion concept. So rather than buying two video game systems (e.g Wii and DS) and two sets of games (e.g Wii Music and DS Music) you only buy one console and one set of games? That seems to mean much less revenue for Nintendo and reduction in profit opportunities. |
The dirty little secret is however that most Nintendo fans don't actually buy both the handheld and console.
Most only buy the handheld, consoles can be hit and miss (GCN, Wii U are misses, Wii was a hit).
In either case, I don't think they'll actually lose any hardware sales. There's still incentive to buy both, I'll buy the handheld to be able to play on the road and the home version because I like to play on my big screen TV when at home. Shared or unshared libraries doesn't change that.
It's like saying no one who owns an iPhone could possibly ever want an iPad ... yet many people people buy both.
