Why does it have to be AAA? That's what I'm saying, there is a large gap between Angry Birds & AAA titles, this type of device could find a nice balance between the two sides of the spectrum.


Problem is Nintendo fans kind of have this Nintendo centric view of the marketplace that only Nintendo can provide "in between" titles. There are plenty of "in between" titles on the PS4/XB1. LEGO games, Disney games, Minecraft, FIFA/Madden/NHL/NBA 2K attract casual players who love sports, indie games, most Japanese games are not huge budget either. There's plenty of content on Sony/Nintendo consoles that you can play even if you're not interested in GTA.

If Nintendo had some special sway over this market, the Wii U would be doing at least half way decent sales, but all the Mario Karts and Splatoons in the world and it still can't make any head way in the market. 

 

 


What does Nintendo have to do with this? Him and I are talking about Apple. A $150-200 microconsole can potentially find a nice middle ground between mobile & AAA title, yes PS4/XB1 do have those type of games but that's not the main focus and those are $350-400 devices that are primarily driven by $60 blockbusters.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
