Features such as? What has Nintendo really done in the past decade that's so great? Nothing I can think of that I care about. Regardless that assumes that if Nintendo stopped making hardware there'd never be any advancements made in gaming technology... oh wait shareplay.... VR.... Online Parties.... multi-touch.... Nintendo leaving hardware would not stop innovation. Amongst Mobile Hardware Manufacturers, Sony, Microsoft, Logitech, Razer, Oculus, and many other companies that may or may not exist yet, I think gaming hardware advancements would be covered should Nintendo dedicated themselves to software. Regardless I'm more than content with gaming hardware as it is, it's software that needs to be innovated, not hardware. |
Ha, VR. That's exactly what I was getting at. If you think the current use of this "VR", is innovative, you're sorely mistaken. All current VR is, is AR with two screens stuck in front of your eyes. We're still using controllers with it.
If you truly think Nintendo should leave out of consoles, there is something wrong with that thought. Look at where we are heading with Sony and microsoft. They're competing so hard that they are making upgraded consoles mid gen, just to keep up with PCs. I really don't want to constantly have to shell out 300-400 dollars for a new console that does almost exactly the same thing as the previous ones, when I could just build a gaming pc and upgrade specific parts cheaper.
Someone already said it, but Nintendo is the last strictly gaming company, we don't need the other two be the only ones who make games and consoles because they are unreliable when it comes to gaming. Look at how other studios/branches each of them shut down just because sales have gone down. can you imagine what either one of those companies would do if their latest consoles sold as much as the Wii U, I can guarantee they would cut those businesses off and sell the assets.
