Ninty was both genial and shoertsighted with Wii, it should have launched it with the higher precision and full 3-axes Wiimote Plus, that having actually been launched later enjoyed scarce support as 3rd parties didn't want to lose tens million potential buyers of their games, but had it been standard equipment since the start, it would have brought three benefits, attracting more hardcore games and gamers of a new kind, hardcore motion games with more realistic (and less forgiving) simulation and immersion, delaying the moment existing users got tired of the system and thanks to all this extend the life and increase lifetime sales of Wii. Fully using Wiimote Plus selling potential could have probably given Wii additional sales greater than Wii U lifetime ones, and without the need to develop another interim console. Ninty could have directly developed NX totally skipping Wii U, and what's better, leaving 7th gen still being strong, with a winning image, without the Wii brand name getting tainted and tarnished by falling before its competitors after having so easily overwhelmed them for years. |
I agree to an extent, the wiimote should have worked like Wii motion + from day one. But it wasnt like Ninty themselves were even supporting Wiimote+. They had sports resort. I Wii Play sequel that no one really cared about and Zelda. If Ninty didnt care i didnt expect 3rd parties to care either. A better controller still would not have helped the actual hardware as it was still woefully behind, so the system would have still missed a lot of games that core gamers would play (not that it really mattered i guess since if you were that type of gamer you had another system). But yeah i agree they def could have extended the life of it. Shortsighted is def something I would call the Wii
