If you ignore that Sony and Microsoft increased the launch prices to $400+ afterwards while still taking a loss on the hardware, then yes. If you truly put things into perspective, then you realize that competitive Nintendo hardware (in terms of processing power) didn't sell at $200, so why would it ever sell at $400. If you then go a step further and take Nintendo's entire history into account, when was processing power ever something that resembled a true selling point for Nintendo? If you go another step further, you may realize that video games are actually an entertainment business and not a technology business, so the price of the hardware does not need to be representative of the technology inside of it. Since it's about entertainment and not technology, the GC wasn't perceived as a good console. The same logic obviously applies to the Switch as well, the significant difference being that Switch actually ticks the right boxes to succeed as a video game system. |
Agreed.
What factors do you believed caused the Gamecube to fail though? What boxes didn't it tick?
