| Miyamotoo said: PS2 was launched at 2000, Xbox 360 was launched in 2005, Wii and PS3 were launched just one year later in 2006. So I really don't see how you can claim Xbox 360 arrived in middle of generation when arrived just one year before other consoles of that gen, PS3/Wii!? I dont agree, IMO much better is to have Zelda and Mario 3D at launch, Pikmin following launch window, LM around march....and at end for Q4 we could have Mario Kart or some other big title. So we would have big bang approach and momentum. I also count on shared library of unified platform. |
The other consoles came as a response to the 360, if you don't remember many considered that gen to have much more potential, 360 was announced in 2004 3 years into the life of the Xbox and launched a year after, this was in the middle of the gen and forced gen 6 to end earlier than everyone expected. Lets not forget MegaDrive also did the same launching mid gen against the NES so no this is nothing new.
Your whole big bang scenario is based on assumptions and tbh I'm not asking you to agree I'm telling what's more logical in the case of dealing with fudamental problems while not going by assumptions. Look at your argument for a start it goes off into speculating Mario Kart in order to fill the holes you've created by dumping big cards upfront.
