| Veknoid_Outcast said: Some people just want to invest in a single system that plays all the games they want, and I totally respect that. In that way, it's perfectly reasonable for someone to want Super Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon on the same system as Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto, and Assassin's Creed. However, I think it's a short-sighted and ultimately counter-productive dream, as Nintendo going third-party would probably diminish the greatness and, for lack of a better word, anotherness of its games. |
But it's precisely the "uniqueness" of Nintendo console/games is whats hurting them in the long run, for it is making them a niche company. Which in turn its part of whats provoking that the general opinion that their consoles are "not powerful enough" or their games are for "kids". As of now Nintendo needs to open to a broader market. Thats not gonna make them lose their identity, if anything its just gonna make them get to a bigger audience. Which in turn is the best thing that could happen to them, and us, as fans, because bigger market = more games.
