| Faelco said: They always said that really clearly, nothing surprising. And it's obvious they won't throw away their 60M handheld userbase because of a gamble with a $300 console. You don't just kill your most profitable market by focusing on a hybrid product with your least profitable one. That could be suicidal for the entire company. Third party developers are doing the same thing and keep developing 3DS games. So they are already thinking and working on a real "3DS2", with the same kind of price and the same market as a target. If the Switch gamble isn't a reassuring success in the first few months or the first year, this "3DS2" will become real pretty quickly. |
Yes, they need to think what they'll do if Switch fails and have nothing to replace the 3DS with. Then again, this might be Kimishima only hinting the investors they haven't put all their eggs in one basket.
But I would expect Nintendo having the device just about ready on a drawing desk in case they'd need one.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
