| Intrinsic said: Motion gaming was on the PS2 with the first PlayStation eye cam.The PSP also had remote play support with the PS3. Both of which came years before the wiiU. But yeah, keeping think Nintendo is at the centre of everything lol. |
I think the point that we're trying to make for Nintendo is the same point that is generally made with Apple. It may very well be that they weren't "the first" in literal terms. It's about being the first to make is revolutionary for the mainstream so that the entire industry as a whole is catapulted.
Which goes back to the main question. If Sony and Microsoft sense that another mass market/blue ocean strategy is underway then they may plan very well in advance rather than play catch-up only as soon as the Switch is successful - they would lose too many customers between the Switch's launch and their launch (if it was a success.)
What I'm getting at is that from a business stand-point it may make sense to follow suit before tha launch purely as a fail-safe.
