So what your saying is you are blind? What is Nintendo innovating? Change isnt innovation. Change that makes something better, more useable, more powerfull etc. is innovation. Making a portable that you dock? Nintendo is grasping at straws hoping something sticks. The Wii, WiiU and now the switch are all gimmicks that draw initial support to see where it goes. In the mean time you have Sony and Microsoft actually innovating. Sony was the first console to bring cameras and motion control to consoles, advertising it and making it a focal point didnt really happen but the games it did have were fun. Microsoft expanded on that with a much better camera and tracking. Nintendo went with IR and Gyros for the Wii. Microsoft revolutionized the console markets online game play with cross game chat and a much better echosystem. NIntendo has yet to embrace this aspect of gaming while Sony has now surpased Microsoft. Sony introduced remoteplay via its handheld letting you take games with you or play games on your PS3 while you were away using your Vita. You could also use the vita as a second screen or controller while in game. This will be the last Nintendo home console. |
Nice big rant to a one-liner made a month ago. I will stick to my claim here though and say that the experiences XBO or PS4 provide aren't vastly different from that which I obtain on my gaming PC. The same can't be said about the Switch. That you had to mention implementations of what were extant technologies fifteen years ago is telling. I used the present tense, not the past tense. As a sum of its parts, Nintendo provides a platform different from any other, consistently, whereas Microsoft and Sony focus on the tried and true formulae. Nothing is wrong with either strategy. I like both, and that is why I don't think Nintendo should go third party. They add value by successfully (rather than half-assingly) implementing edge technologies
