Of course you can't just make something unconvetional and hope for it to succeed. Offering something different means, looking at the market and evalute if there's an hidden or unserved demand by competitors. You'll need to look at the market in a diffrernt way and serve it in a different way. They did so when they developed Wii and DS, and also when they developed the Gameboy in the first place. How much is the WiiU really "different"? its pretty much a standard console with a screen attached to it, you leave it (and use the pro controller) and you have a regular console. Also, I was specifically referring to games, 1st party games will always remain their main differentiating factor from Sony and MS, you leave that and you are left with an empty shell. The fact Nintendo makes "Nintendo games" and not "mainstream mature games" is the only reason why the 3DS still managed to sell 60m units instead of 10 like PsVita and with a clearly inferior hardware. |
Nobody says they have to stop making games like Splatoon and Mario Kart, but these games alone cannot carry a console to mainstream success in today's market. An lineup composed almost entirely of E-rated cartoon games doesn't cut it in 2015.
