The funnly thing about people saying going with cartridges would kill 3rd party support is that 3DS & Vita have significantly stronger 3rd party support than Wii U. |
I'm beginning to think its more like some just dont like that phrase and less that the phrase actually doesnt apply to nintendos plight.
Look at it how you want to look at it. Call it copy, do what they are doing or just do good business. Call it catch lightning in a bottle or not but the facts are simple.
History has shown, and nintendo has 3 failed consoles to show for it, that first party alone is not enough to make a successful platform.
The onky exception to this was the Wii in the last four consoles they have released. And that was becauss of motion gaming and the game changer it became.
Such a phenomenon is what is referred to as catching lightning in a bottle. To do something that isnt only different and no one thinks will work but that goes on to become more successful than anyone could have imagined.
If nintendo are again ignoring all the the things sony and ms are doing or do to be successful, then it must mean they feel they are going to do something that not only differemtiates them but is better. Unless u feel they are in this to sell sub 20M consoles with the NX too.
