Or you can just say Nintendo has problems with end cycle drop offs. The difference with the Switch is its the only hardware line they have, so I don't think "well, we'll just accept 20-40% drop offs for 2021 and 2022 as the cost of doing business in our business model" really makes much sense any more. Whatever you can do to eliminate that makes sense rather than just "well, 5-6 year cycles with hardware refreshes and starting from 0 again is how it was done in the 1980s" being the no.1 priority makes any sense at all. Who cares how things were done in the 1980s. Mid-cycle refresh boost or a more phased kinda of transition probably makes more sense when they don't have the benefit of two hardware lines especially. |
When has 'moar power' ever been the answer to Nintendo's woes?
SNES. N64 or GBA?
N64. GC or DS?
GC. DS/Wii or Nin-360?
Wii. 3DS or WiiU/NinX1?
