| Soundwave said: Well yeah basically what that means is Nintendo is pretty much finished as a console maker but can continue on making portable machines, assuming mobile doesn't continue to eat their lunch (which is a whole other can of worms). In that scenario though I wonder if Nintendo basically relents and agrees to make PS5/XB2 console games of certain bigger franchises. If you're not going to have basically any real console presence, then you can't really even say PS5/XB2 are competetion because it's competetion against what? So you may as well support those machines just like you eventually reneged and opted to support iOS/Google. |
It doesn't mean anything like you're implying, it means that their business model would have changed in that both devices not only work alongside each other but create an echosystem where the sale of all devices combined drives their gen not individual sales. They essentially won't need the console side of things to sell like the PS4 because the's another device that will do that in a parallell market while providing a safety net, what this means is rather than being a problem like it is with the Wii U console sales will become bonus sales instead.
The angle you're looking at it from is not the angle that the approach adheres to.
