If i were a Wii U user, i would be fucking mad that my console is going to the slaughter house in less than 4 years since its release.
There is no other way around it for me. I firmly believe in long generations. It is better for the consumer, for the developer and the console maker.
If Nintendo keeps doing this 0.5 gens, i dont see how they will be competitive in this game. Unless they are fine with sub-20m consoles like the Wii U, because people are not going to support it nor developers. |
What half gens?
You guys got 6 years last time for the Wii. Every other Nintendo console has gotten 5 years. This one is 4.
A half generation is 2.5 years of support.
If anything this just evens out the Wii being a year longer than it should have been.
And long generations aren't that great either, it means you are stuck playing games on outdated technology for longer. The industry isn't a bunch of 10-year-old boys any longer that needs mommy/daddy to buy them every new console, a lot of people would be willing to embrace a different model IMO.
Nintendo game experiences have always gotten better with better hardware unless you're going to sit there with a straight face and say Splatoon and Bayonetta 2 and so on would have been better on the original Wii. So why be afraid of something that's ultimately good for the player?

Four years still feels like too little. That's what happened with the Saturn/Dreamcast transition, and why consumers fell out of love with Sega. Do you want that to happen with Nintendo?

Is there a reason that u are ignoring the Master System, Gameboy Advance & Xbox which all had 4 years or less and had successors go on to being each companies biggest success ever?
Also the Dreamcast had a record launch and was discontinued only because of Sega's financial situation which caused them to no longer have the money to support it.
