Nintendo's obsession with been unique is killing them Gen by Gen. Sure sometimes it looks like their been succesful but really they are damaging their reputation and profits.
Here's why IMO ( for what its worth)
Nes- same as competition very successful console
SNES - same as competition success
N64- unique for generation but still regonizable to previous gens. Moderately success
Gamecube- unique discs unique look. Moderate success
Wii- totally unique makes Nintendo billions. Complete failure as it has cost Nintendo there reputation as a GAMES console. Most gamers hate this console.
Wii u- totally unique to competition. complete failure
Reputation with gamers destroyed by previous wii.
So make a console that is the same as competition in power and looks and conventional. Yes its boring but hey end of the day gamers just want a games consoles that holds up to the completion and has RESPECT from other gamers. You know those people who actually buy consoles not grandmas and OAP's and 5 year olds.
Thoughts ( expecting much hate from fans but as a fan its how I feel)
