| Miyamotoo said: Every strong/big game is potential system seller, that espacily goes for 3D Zelda beacuse they are always one of biggest and strongest games on system, especially when we know that Zelda BotW was also released on Wii U also and that could be played via emulator on PC. But in case of Bayonetta 2 Nintendo paid for development, and that wasnt only case, we also had Wonderful 101 and Fatal Frame V, so you can bet that Switch will have much more titles like those. Remember, Bandai Namco already anancued 3 Switch exclusives for next year, Platinium also said they are working on "intresting" game for Switch so it's possible that's also exclusive game, and dont forget that we already had games like Mario Rabbids and FE Warriors this year. 16nm Tegra become already available on market. Offcourse that point that Switch XL/Pro will be more powerful wouldnt easily offset Nintendo's combined development resources, nothing will relly change, we will have just higher resolution probably, I mean look PS4 Pro for comparison nothing didn't really changed. In any case is much easier to support just one platform than two totally different platforms, you need think only about one lineup of games. But you realise while Nintendo was supporting Wii U they gave very strong support in same time to 3DS (actualy stronger than they gave to Wii U), basically they resources were divided, not to mention that Wii U was fail and had short life span, so they didnt want to invest too much in Wii U. And you do realise that Switch in first 9 months on market will have 5 AAA Nintendo games (Zelda BotW, MK8D, Splatoon2, Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade2)!? You need to start realising, hole Nintendo with all their recources, all teams (1st party, 2nd party and exclusive 3rd parties), undivided, making games just for one platform. Its very obvious that Switch will have very strong and great support from Nintendo suport with strong and great game, there is reason why Switch has killer 9 monts on market, and Nintendo already said they will continue momentum with strong and good games and after this year, that's actually there one of priorities with Switch.
Your points really don't have too much sense, I am not sure there is sense to continue to reply to you. |
Pirates are never likely to buy the game to begin with so whatever sales lost you pointed from PC was minimized from the start and Zelda are not the biggest and strongest games on Nintendo systems. Not even close, especially when Animal Crossing, Mario (2D or 3D), Mario Kart, Pokemon and arguably even Smash Bros are all bigger franchises than Zelda ...
W101 and FFV were funded by Nintendo so that doesn't change my point about Nintendo needing to pay for 3rd party exclusives. Mario + Rabbids and FE Warriors are about as 3rd party as much as they are 1st party ...
Actually, lot's will change since WII U is now a legacy platform. The only reason Sony is not able to take advantage of PS4 Pro to it's fullest extent is the same reason as developing cross-gen games so I see no basis why iteration times will decrease or more likely not increase even with combined resources for Nintendo when developing on a more powerful platform exclusively ...
3DS got strong support because it was the obvious successful platform at the time but you can't deny the significant effort Nintendo put in the WII U when it also received most of the flagship franchises for a Nintendo home console. That's not all, the 3DS had 4 ground up built AAA games for it in it's first year while the Switch only had 3 ground up built AAA games for it in the first year with BotW originally being intended for WII U and MK8D being a late port with extra content. All of that was even with preparation before hand when Nintendo ditched the WII U since the rest of 2015 with the release of Splatoon 2 and they largely ditched the 3DS since 2016. When all is said and done the Switch will probably have as strong of software support as the 3DS ...
As for your last line, offended much ?
