| Nem said: How did those good business decisions work out for SEGA soundwave? They are backing themselves into a corner. Your logic completely ignores future sales of said platforms and how they will be affected. If the NX is a home console, it will end like the dreamcast, and what then? Rush yet another system hoping things get better? That isnt a viable srategy. When buying a system, customers put their faith on the system creators to make the investment worth it. If it isnt they wont make the same mistake next time. Do you think Sony has any chance of releasing a sucessful portabLe after the Vita? They wont even atempt such foolishness. Nintendo is heading in the same direction now. If you dont support your system, customers wont support you, its that simple. NX is already doomed. I dont know who is complaining about the 3DS though. Its seen alot of support. Its the Wii U that is a problem. |
The SEGA analogy again does not work. Sega released the 32X and 8 months later surprise released the Saturn with no marketing in the US. They failed to support both.
Nintendo hasn't done that, they have supported the Wii U quite well, they just lost the casual/soccer mom demographic entirely and basically found themselves with a system that no one but Nintendo fans wanted. The Wii U is more like the original XBox which was supported by MS for 4 years than either the 32X or Saturn.
If NX fails, then Nintendo is probably done with hardware and will become a third party. But the NX can fail just as easily if Nintendo is preoccupied supporting the failing Wii U and launches the NX slowly.
The longer the Wii U stays on the market, likely the more damage is being done to Nintendo's brand.
