| RolStoppable said: The big problem with such a theory is that the sample of opinions would be collected mostly from a group that is notorious for being against change. A group that isn't representative of the market. You could also apply the theory to Nintendo gauging reactions to changes in localisations. For example, you had people up in arms over Fire Emblem Fates, therefore Nintendo should have quickly adjusted the product. But of course Nintendo didn't do this. And of course the sales saw no notable negative impact despite the uproar. |
Yep, you have a point. But they could only be testing "gamers" reactions to this controller, and, in some way, find a middle point to release a controller which will please gamers and mass market alike. Although, as you said, it would be just wishful thinking to pretend that gaming community will gladly acept this controller. We're in general against massive changes. Lack of physical buttons is something that I don't think we're prepared (and, honestly, I don't think it'll work).
Actually, what I really think is that some people are messing with us and having a really good time.
