The real reason Nintendo can't compete with specs even with having the best first party games is because after the 90's Nintendo forgot Marketing 101. Using propaganda and fancy bullshit on the gamers to get their consoles and games. They rocked that in the 90's and now Sony and Microsoft own it. Marketing is about programing the consumers mind to like attend. Right now gamers are programed to like graphics and stuff. Kind of like how Apple tries to program consumers to spend $600 to jack off on a new shiny white phone every year. |
Their marketing wasn't that good even in the 90s, lol, they were getting outmarketed by Sega and Sony fairly handily, their games were just so great and they had a fair amount of third party support that they were kind of the defacto brand.
They let Sony and later MS gain too much power and become too far entrenched into their territory, that's where it all went wrong.
