If it is just a reskin of an old idea then it hold no more value than a sequel and can hardly be considered riskier. Nintendo's initial handling of the Wii U is what got them to where they are. Everything from it's reveal, its launch, its marketing and the concept had setup the Wii U for failure. The Wii U deserves what it got, but I don't think the sales of its games do. Sony definitely deserves the vita failure. |
In thas case Uncharted or TLOU weren't a risc for Sony by aboning one of their biggest IP's for a new one. Sure neither did anything new, (although the execution of the Idea was near perfect). The games on the Wii sell pretty good though, there are some exceptions of course but when you release 4 different 2d platformers you can't expect them all to sell well it isn;t the 90's anymore. After god of war 4, Sony Santa Monica will probaly make a new IP. I do like how Nintendo handles Zelda if feels fresh every time, but some IP's are losing that fresh feel for me at least and a lot of others. With new games which feel fresh like splatoon, the line-up will be more atractive and diverse, which matter to me. I liked the PS3 for the many new experiences like LBP, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, TLOU. I would like to see Nintendo do something inovative for games again (and doesn't fail like the 3d screen or the gamepad). Splatoon is a good start and now they should aim for something bigger and make a new mascot.
Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
