But point is that itsn PR speech, all of their games that they were shown in January event will be relased this year. Of Course they could show some 2018. games. In January 2013. E3 2013. and E3 2014. they showed games in front because Wii U was doing terrible and they wanted to gave reason to people to buy Wii U and that Wii U start selling, but they dont need to that with Switch. "Nintendo hasn't shown that they will be able to keep that momentum, not in terms of quality, but also in terms of quantity." You basically don't have any evidence for such a claim, actually all is showing they know what are doing and that they will keep momentum. Of Course that Nintendo showed they can keep momentum, 3 months after launch Switch is still selling great and they can't keep up with demand, that wanst case with GC. And Nintendo very clever scheduled their games so they have one bigger game every month, next month we are getting Splatoon 2 that is big systeme seller game. They almost certain have similar plan for next year too, its crazy to think just because Nintendo did not showed or want still show any 2018. game that they don't have anything for 2018. No, those games are not "i want it to be true" but games that realistically we can easily see next year based on infos when last games were done buy Nintendo teams. Also most of them were already rumored. Well bigger instal base could also bring some heavyweights. Even if doesn't bring heavyweights doesn't matter, DS, Wii and 3DS also didnt had most of heavyweights and still have great sales. I wrote after SNES. We will see, this is different because you have handheld and home console game in one. |
It's PR speech when, not having games to show, they decide to change the way they approach E3. Strange coincidence!
Up until 2014 they acted this way: show what's coming this year and show what's coming next year.
So, yes, that new way of thinking WAS PR spin to sugar coat the (bad) truth: no games.
"You basically don't have any evidence for such a claim."
So, the lack of announced games for 2018, the clear intention of not revealing their 2018 plans is not enough for you?
Tell me what has been announced and if those are AAA Nintendo games or smaller Nintendo franchises. 'Cause i only know of Fire Emblem.
I'm not claiming they have nothing for 2018. What i'm "claiming" - and claimed in our last conversation - is that a) they have only announced Fire Emblem and b) they have shown zero intent in hyping people for 2018.
And if you think that they don't need to hype people because Switch is doing so well, then why do Sony and MS hype consumers? Specially, Sony. They have sold so much, why bother with hyping the following year?
DS and Wii had a new type of consumers that Nintendo can't and won't, as far as we know, regain them.
3DS sold well but compared to the last "normal" handheld, it sold less despite being in the market for, what, double the time?
Heavyweights are important. They make or break consoles (in normal circumstances).
Nintendo would kill for those games in their consoles!
Yes, it's different, but so far i haven't seen clear signs that 3rd parties see it that way.
