It has been done many times. I listed them off the top of my head. The N64 Expansion pak. The PSP with improved specs with every hardware revision. The DS/DSi.failurew 3DS. There are probably more that I'm not thinking of. All of these have been commerical failures, or at very least the vast majority of game developers for that platform have ignored the additonal processing power. Of the developers that do, the majority of them are first or second party titles. |
I dont think the N64 expansion pack was a failure at all and it added value to numerous games via extra features like 4 player modes. Since it was a relatively cheap upgrade it also was used to create games with more potential than the original hardware.
The PSP improved specs werent really used for games.
The DSi improvements wasnt for cartridge games per se, more like online stuff.
The New 3DS has replaced the original model and the games that take advantage of it have seen great improvments that the original specs are not capable of. Reception for it has been positive from what I know and people want more games to take advantage of it. Mobile platforms are a dying market and I dont blame that on New 3DS.
You have taken a stance but your arguments are weak in my opinion.
