| setsunatenshi said: Wii U, Wii, GC, N64 You're asking me if people would prefer a system with BF and GTA to one with Mario Kart and Pokemon? The fact you're even asking this question tells me you're blinded by your appreciation for Nintendo franchises. It's not about cutting-edge graphics, it's about 3 factors: Quality, quantity and popularity. Why do you think Nintendo console sales have been declining steadily since the NES? With 1 outlier in the middle called Wii who still managed to be a dud for software sales compared to the competition. I think the only Nintendo IP I really enjoy is Fire Emblem, but even I recognize they could do amazingly well if they could do what Sony does. Ally their own exclusive quality IPs with 3rd party game release parity across the other platforms and PC. Nintendo fans love to speak about how much money Nintendo has, so if they really want to be making hardware, why not make some serious competitor to the other platforms? Anyway, I hope you enjoy your Switch, because afterall at the end of the day we're all gamers here. |
Yes, people would prefer a Nintendo console with Nintendo games over a 4th device (PS4/XBO/PC being the other 3) that plays multiplat titles.
You bring up Nintendo consoles declining as proof that people want multiplat titles on Nintendo devices yet you fail to recognize that SNES saw a decline from NES despite excellent 3rd party support (exclusive & multiplats) and Gamecube had a decline from N64 despite having far better 3rd party support than N64.
You are correct that a combination of quality, quantity and popularity is important but having the same games as other devices is not a necessity to achieve that.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
