| ps3-sales! said: Obviously I'm not the biggest Nintendo fan. But I have owned and enjoyed their consoles like the Wii, Gamecube, Snes, N64, and the DS.
With that said. Obviously the WiiU is (as of now) a financial failure.
I just don't get why there should be all this realistic optimism for the NX. Third parties have obviously already abandoned Nintendo and currently the PS4 is so dominant that it doesn't even need games to sell.
The Xbone is also quite popular. |
Third parties operate on a platform by platform basis, they aren't going to ignore a platform just because its Nintendo branded, they didn't ignore the wii or even the gamecube. 3DS has had very strong third party support in Japan and if Nintendo manages to merge the japanese console/handheld market they'll have a lot home console software support coming in from Capcom, Square and Level 5.
Yes, the Xbox is fairly popular but I don't see why that means Nintendo can't also be. Lets imagine the home console gaming market is 200m big. Theres no reason why Nintendo can't steal a higher fraction of that pie or potentially expand it with new ideas. Until we know what the NX is, theres more reason to hope that it'll be a success respective to what they want to achieve then there is to doubt it and believe it'll fail like the Wii U.
