Yep, hence why everybody wants them to switch to an a la carte setup where u can pick and choose the channels u want instead of paying for 100+ channels that u don't watch. |
In either case that isn't the model Nintendo offers. Nintendo offers just a few kinds of content. "Ala carte" implies choice, Nintendo doesn't offer chioce, no one wants that if it means no sports (where's Madden? where's FIFA? where's NBA 2K?), or the mainstream shows/programs of the day (like it or not ... GTA, COD, Destiny, etc. etc. Can I choose any of these on Wii U? 3DS?).
People don't just buy a platform for *themselves* either, what happens when you have 2-4 friends over? How many grown 25-35 years olds are happy playing just Mario Kart? What if I'm not a console warrior robot and happen to like different games, like maybe I do like Mario Kart, but maybe I also like GTA and COD and some Madden too? Then the position I'm put in is I either buy two systems (which a lot of people don't want to do).
The proposition that Nintendo offers of an extremely limited library largely revolving around the same 4-5 mascot properties is more like having a cable service that charges you 75% of everyone else but only gives you access to Nickeldeon, Disney, and maybe ABC Family if you're lucky and nothing else.
