That's exactly what Yamauchi used to say...you can see that in the quote I linked above. We have a brand new Nintendo president in charge but he seems hellbent on continuing Iwata's "it's not about the specs" nonsense even though that's what precisely led to the failed Wii U. I don't understand why Nintendo would repeat the same failed strategy again instead of returning to a more Yamauchi-esque strategy like back in the glory days. It's like Nintendo is asking to go third-party. |
But being all about specs lead to the failure that was the Gamecube though. Only when Nintendo did something different did they pull out way ahead.
Point is I highly doubt that Nintendo want to get into this arms race between MS and Sony draining money into R&D for new console refreshes every few years.
