I don't believe that, I think this is a falacy that fans of a company can fall into because their don't view the general market like the average consumer does. The GameCube and Dreamcast for example improved on virtually every mistake made on their predacessors, yet neither was successful. You can also see this in other industries, Microsoft releases a Windows Phone that has all/most of the features of an iPhone ... but it's like 4 years after they needed that product. Timing has a lot of to do with this market, the average consumer doesn't care about the Nintendo brand any more than they care about the ketchup brand, all they know is that the Playstation and XBox is offering them exactly what they want and when they wanted it. It's a "you snooze, you lose" world. To counter that Nintendo needs to offer something dramatically different IMO. I hate to say it but they're probably going nowhere with a conventional console. NX needs to bring something legitimately different to the table. Sony/MS have already monopolized basically the market for a traditional console and what that means today (lots of dudebros shooters and sports games). |
Both gamecube and dreamcast were successful but dreamcast was sold at a loss and sega couldn't take it. gamecube profited a lot like usual but the ps2 had exclusivity on virtually all important 3rd party games, it was unfair competition.

Keep living in denial, retardedwave.
