| Mummelmann said: It really doesn't make any kind of sense for them to announce a new console in early 2015 and then wait until late 2017 for a release; they would effectively destroy the Wii U's chances of a decent 2016 and 2017. Everything they've done and said in the past 6 months indicates strongly that they're ready to move on and have no proper plans for the Wii U. It makes sense from a business perspective; regardless of fans claiming that it's stupid to piss them off, there is no reason to keep trying to roll a broken wheel uphill in the mud they way they have been doing. Literally the only arguments left against an imminent release of a successor to the Wii U are "That would piss off the fans" and "They haven't said they are doing this and there are still games coming for the Wii U". This whole "They'll SEGA themselves" mentality is nonsense, if they do nothing about the current situation, that will be the only sure path to the grave. |
Very well put, I agree.
Most people who use the SEGA analogy don't even understand it in the first place.
The Genesis released 3 years after the Sega Master System and was Sega's biggest success. The Saturn release 6 years after the Genesis and was a big failure. Previous console duration doesn't have nearly as much of an impact as people here try to make it out to be.
