| zorg1000 said: You are way oversimplifying. A console needs high quality software, a steady output of software and a wide variety of software. Outside of software there is also hardware features & design, marketing/advertising, price.
A console needs to hit all or most of these things in order to be a mainstream success, so far Switch has all of them while Wii U was missing almost all of them.
So hes right, you cant use the lame excuse of, "those games didnt sell Wii U so would why they sell Switch?" |
Hardware features didn't help the PS3 from being clobbered by it's competition and marketing/advertising couldn't save the Vita from being a catastrophe despite having the Playstation branding which is arguably the strongest console brand ...
Out all of the points the only one I can agree with is price but even then that can be fixed with software or doing a price cut itself so yes for the most part it is indeed games that will sell the hardware itself and we keep seeing this pattern across multiple industries so don't around projecting it as a lame excuse ...
When it comes to digital media people don't care about the functionality, they care about the content ...
