| Jumpin said: A traditional Nintendo console is different from a traditional Sony console. Nintendo’s philosophy is simplification and expansion: they add new interface options (whether d-pad, portability, shoulder buttons, analog stick, extra ports, touch screens, motion controls, or unique combos of each. The Switch is heavily revitalizing and expanding local multiplayer while keeping it simple. Sony’s philosophy is updating hardware. While the markets are the same, each company has two different traditions. |
4/6 of Nintendo's traditional consoles were large hardware upgrades from what was available prior (NES-SNES-N64-GameCube), it's only post GameCube that for two gens (Wii + Wii U) they went a different way.
