| RolStoppable said: This is exactly how complacency works. Things are going well now, so let's take it easy. The thing is that it's hard to predict how exactly the software landscape will look 2-3 years from the point of greenlighting a game, so taking it easy comes with the risk of being unprepared for a less than ideal situation. |
I agree with this, and its why the Wii U was a disaster. Nintendo saw the success of the Wii, but they didn't know how to follow up on it, and were rightfully punished for not having a long-term plan after they found success. So they need to be on their toes for the next console, but for now, with their current success, they should also allow their devs to loosen up and peruse the more niche stuff as well. So long as the Switch still has enough guaranteed system sellers each year, then EPD can afford to do weird stuff like Pikmin, Labo, 1-2 Switch, and ARMS.
