Arlo said: You really think there's a chance that not only will the NX launch after only four years (sort of almost plausible) but then its successor will launch only three years after that? I don't think that's realistic in the slightest. That's a complete console overload, and that's coming after the Wii U's failure to stick. On top of it all consider how it can take years before Nintendo's able to develop enough games for their systems to make them more appealing. |
Apple gets away with it with both phones and the vastly more expensive PCs. Why? Because the content transfers and the old products don't become obsolete imediately after. Nintendo can do the same thing with the NX line, and it would work.

I do think that sort of thing is something Nintendo needs to get on, but I don't think it would mean so many releases would work for them. I don't feel like the type of person who buys a new phone every year or two or spends two grand on a laptop is the same type of person who buys Nintendo games. Apple products are in high demand and hit every single adult demographic, including older people with well-established careers. Nintendo products are...Nintendo products. They hit a pretty small chunk of an already (relatively) small demographic of gamers.
