| Azelover said: I'm gonna reply the general question because your post is way too long. Truth is. If the mobile market dies or implodes somehow, THEN console gaming will grow again. I think it should happen because mobile to me is downright evil. I'd ratrher have another Wii Fit generation than stand another 10 years of mobile domination. Crash that shit for the Love of God. |
I'm fine with it. If those people just want simple things to play, fine, great, they're not needed in a $300 hardware + $60 software market. It was always a weird fit to begin with. They get their gaming fix from smartphones and that's fine, dedicated home platforms should be for people who really like video games, not people who are just in on the basis of a fad.
I think Switch will be a better system than the Wii, and will sell well enough without needing a Wii Sports/Fit ... it's selling like gangbusters now without benefit of a casual blockbuster to help drive sales, something even the Wii or DS could not claim. Zelda and Mario Kart are selling it just fine.
Console market makes enough money anyway. Sony is selling great, Nintendo is selling great, Microsoft is selling ok but don't really need the money, so who cares.
