| Pavolink said: That's not how it works. Even if the hardware is identical to PS4, third parties won't release their games on Wii U or any Nintendo homeconsole because the userbase doesn't care for their games. PS4 and XOne has those games because that's mostly the kind of games that are on the console developed by first parties. The audience that buys Uncharted and Halo is willing to buy Mass Effect and Fallout. We can't say the same about the audience of Animal Crossing, Super Mario 3D World, DKC Tropical Freeze and Yoshi Wolly World. What Nintendo needs is to cater again to the traditional Nintendo gamer, the one that drolls with a Zelda like Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy, F-ZeroGX, Fire Emblem, etc. Those gamers could (maybe, tal vez) cater to games like Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, etc. Nintendo needs to cater to them and do some deals with third parties to flood the hardware with those games. Maybe when gamers see the offerings they are going to buy it. |
Ah, I see what you mean. Then I guess Nintendo needs to do something to fix the problem and I'm not sure what they can do. Making a console that sells well is easy to say but its extremely difficult to do, especially because the NX will come out right in the middle of the PS4 and X1's lives. And convincing third party's to support the system doesn't work either. So I guess there really is no way to get third party's to support the system.
If Nintendo makes a console that only appeals to Nintendo fans, then the system will end up selling like the Gamecube. I guess it could be profitable, depending on how Nintendo designs it, and that is the most important thing.
