And in both cases of the 3DS and WiiU - the new platform struggled out the gate. 3DS of course hit the brink, but then did OK. WiiU couldn't recover. I think Nintendo realizes leaving legacy platforms totally behind can be risky in today's market. |
They struggled because they had no games (and well high price, poor marketing, etc.), not because their predecessors didn't continue getting support after they launched. Making 3DS games means less NX games, which goes against what you'd think should be their strategy of actually having games and no droughts for the NX. Nintendo can only make so many games whereas Sony and Microsoft have 3rd partys they can rely on.
