You mean kinda like how Wii U versions of COD and Assassin's Creed lit the webz on fire. Or Madden NFL and NBA Street and Prince of Persia and even Resident Evil exclusive on GameCube. Nintendo would need the *best* versions of those games (better than Scorpio) to really get anyone's attention and there's very little chance Nintendo is making a 8 TFLOP $700 console that runs so hot it could heat a 9-year-old's room. Nintendo lost the COD/Elder Scrolls type crowd ages ago. Like probably right around the launch of the GameCube. Sony/MS took that audience over and they're not going to give it back, it's like letting a foreign invader take over your country and thinking 15 years later you think can just walk back in and have it back. Doesn't work like that. Nintendo needed to fight Sony and MS tooth and nail for that audience with the N64 and in particular the GameCube, but they failed miserably with the GameCube and these are the consequences. They needed to beat the shit out of the first XBox at minimum and teach Microsoft not to come mess on their turf. They didn't do that, instead MS gained confidence by being able to outsell Nintendo right off the bat with a system they basically quickly just slapped together. And now they're not willing to leave the gaming market. This is where Apple and Google are smart, they beat the living shit out of Windows Phone so bad that now Microsoft doesn't even dare challenge them, that's how you got to be when you want to protect your marketshare. Nintendo wasn't, they were half-drunk with the GameCube. |
You're talking inferior or late ports, I'm talking next GTA/TES being revealed on Nintendo stage...which implies serious moneyhatting..because they can do it, and if they want MSony audience, they need to do it, along with powerful console and few new inhouse IPs that catter to that audience...pretty much change of direction in home console space, while doing what they're doing in handheld/mobile market.
