No i do not see NX being weaker than PS4/XBO as a negative because the positives far outweigh it. Like i said, stores do this to be organized, not for competition purposes. Wii U aimed to be a direct competitor to Sony/Microsoft, something they did not do with Wii and should not do with NX. |
Errrr... if you don't see a weaker system as a negative, I don't know what to say. From a consumer perspective, how can that possibly be a positive?
Stores are organized that that products so that products that consumers are likely to choose between are together. Similar products are grouped together. This was a response to your comment about iphones and TVs competing, which is obviously a faulty analogy. I'm not going to argue about how retailers organize their stores, but it's clear that the Wii U is far more similar to the PS4 than a Galaxy note is to a TV.
"Wii U was not aimed at being a direct competitor to the Sony/Microsoft any more than the Wii was. It was an underpowered system meant to sell on the power of a unique controller. Only difference is that the execution on the Wii U was horrible."
If I really have to drag up comments from the Wii era... fine.
"360 is selling well only in one country: UK," he said.
"Across the rest of Europe, it is not performing well. Wii on the other hand, is selling exceptionally well all through Europe."
""they've [Sony] got some great games that they've been able to bring out, some great content, but you look at the results and clearly they've got some challenges".
"Why would [Wii owners] say that [they now want a PS3]?" Reggie asked. "So I'm a consumer and I'm having a great experience with my Wii. And we know that's the case - we look at the software that's being purchased. Consumers love the Wii. What's going to motivate them to spend minimally $300 for a new [PS3] system, plus minimally $100 for the Move motion bundle? So [as a consumer] now I'm into this for $400 and I still have to spend money on software. What's going to motivate me to do that?"
Yes, Nintendo's video game console is competing with other videogame consoles that are in the same price range, share many of same games, many of the same features, and have the same core functionality. Just because one has Mario Maker, and one plays Little Big Planet does not mean they are not competing.
