Good games sell hardware regardless. Now if the Wii U had a different name and had Mario Kart at launch, imagine the sales on it! I think the next CEO could take a more competitive approach, but he'd have to delay the NX to make it powerful enough to compete. So maybe after NX we'll see some Nintendo Power that we haven't since SNES |
Having good games is not an anti requisite for good hardware, they are not mutually exclusive! Mario Kart is still gonna be good, but if Nintendo actually added better hardware to the wii u and removed the tablet, every game would have had better tools to make better games. I respect Iwata, but I dont agree with his decision to weaken hardware for a gimmick.
The choice is good hardware + good development tools + no gimmick + good games or subpar hardware + subpar development tools + gimmick + good games
At this point, the NX does seem set in stone, lets hope that afterwards the next console is stronger
