Bolded for hilariousness. If the rumors are true, development on the NX will be more expensive and time consuming than any other platform in console history by forcing developers to develop for multiple hardware specs at once. If true, the Wii U's third party support will make the NX jealous. There's no reason for third parties to take a greater financial risk on a platform whose predecessor sold absymally. Aside from that have no reason to think their games will be any more profitable than they were on the Wii or Wii U (seriously, take a good look at how many third party games made any real profit on either of those platforms) Nintendo has already announced its once again primarily focused on catering to its dwindling fanbase, which means little to no chance at this console appealing to new fans. You can absolutely forget this console becoming a fad like the Wii. Why are Nintendo diehards so convinved the NX will be astoundingly successful? |
-Well developers in same time will be develop game for two devices in same time. We already saw Square Enix announced Dragon Quest games for NX, you can expect Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch...so Japanese publishers will certainly be on NX, and thats already more than Wii U has.
-I dont expecting expensive console, expecting $250-300 for home console and $150-200 for handheld, and third party will certainly will be stronger than its on Wii U.
"Nintendo is cannibalizing their own sales by offering their entire software library on one platform instead of two, so many people won't buy two consoles because there is no need". How many 3DS owners have Wii!? Not many, so how exatly Nintendo will cannibalizing their own sales by offering their entire software library one on platform? Actually it's reverse, Nintendo will have bigger instal base for every their game than like before releasing games for just one device, and they will have much bigger offer of games on platform than before when they had separate offer for each device, also that means no more droughts and gaps between game releases. And If Nintendo plays good with whole idea, more people will buy bought devices than they buyed 3DS and Wii U.
I think it almost certain that NX will perform much better than Wii U, and Nintendo is making money even this gen with failure like Wii U is. So I cant see they abandoning hardware market even if NX dont perform like they hope, they will just try again beacuse they will able to that.
