| Slarvax said: We have never heard a company taking or copying ideas from others. His arguments are also really bad: "3rd parties said the NX is a game changer. Innovative. Ubisoft said it will bring Nintendo back in the race!" Just like the Wii U! Never count Nintendo out, am I right? And yeah, I'm a supporter of the "Hybrid - Emily Rogers + Eurogamer - NX". It just makes a lot of sense (Nintendo doesnt want to abandon handheld market, but they realise it is a dying/dead market, so a hybrid is the best they can do). I gotta say, poor guys that made the Morphuss X300. I think it looks great! But it hasnt sold well? And when (if) Nintendo does release the NX and it looks like that but it actually sells? It would be a pain in the ass. |
The point is why make a console/handheld expensive for the sake of being expensive. You can easily shave $100+ by releasing two seperate pieces of hardware that have the same games, and believe me, when (insert 1st party Nintendo title) sells however many copies across both pieces of hardware Nintendo isn't going to give two craps about on which device it was sold on.
Making 1 library of games across 2 different platforms makes however much one platform sells inconsequential. It's a win win for Nintendo. Keep hardware prices low, sell insane amounts of software.
