All valid points. My point is more that history may be giving nintendo the idea that they can operate in this manner. I mean people on the internet complain all the time and ask for features and sequels to lesser known games all the time. But when you crunch the numbers companies normally follow the money. Until just now with the PS4 there was little evidence the power equaled winning. Hell the PS2 is great example (you are absolutely right in saying it wasn't that far behind) if you compare 3rd party games that released on multiple platforms from the generation the visual difference is shocking, not just because of the lower power but the difficulty to develop for it, but 3rd parties continued to support it because of the numbers. I am not saying nintendo is right, I am saying I know why they think they are right. |
As it's almost 4am I'll keep it short.
Agree Nintendo is thinking like that, however they need to start looking outside the 1 dimension and see the other factors or they will be left behind again. Not sure if they are too stubborn to do it or just blindly think they are right.
On a side note now that its been almost 10 years and probably 15 years by the time next gen launches (excluding NX), I think most of us being older than in 2006 would be comfortable with a $600 console (as in people who grew up with HD twins). I think it would sell faster than the PS3 did. The main reason being that every gen I have bought more and more games on each system simply cause as I get old career progression and more income. So the more games you buy the lesser impact that $600 feels like as you can justify it with lots of games purchased.
