Stop with the fallacy as it was never said to be a problem at any point it's being highlighted that it's breathing space they can take full advantage of, guess what they learned with the GB? That a monopoly gives you breathing like here which you can make use of and to further highlight this a successor wouldn't have arrived until 96/97 which is 7 to 8 years after the GB release so even then it still fits this scenario fine as Switch is 7 to 8 years in now in the end the GBC model came out in 98 which is 9 years after the GB released so what ever their plans were is irrelevant as the actual situation and what they learned to do with it in future. Your notion that it's being suggested as a problem is incorrect it's being highlighted that they're in a position to utilize the safety net they have. You know why the GBA the one platform with the highest momentum only got 3 years and this highlights my entire point here? The PSP was coming as in actual hard competition was on the way which forced Nintendo's hand such competition doesn't exist right now in that market this is why the mythical pro model that was meant to release two years ago according to some from back then still doesn't exist and why a successor still isn't out despite the predictions of one arriving by now because the is no massive pressure, 3DS is the odd case out because it was replaced by default of it's home console counterpart failing the platform itself had a run of 9 years with games released even 8 years in. |
I don't think Nintendo gives a shit about the final LTD of the Switch nearly as much as people here do.
It's a nice to have, it's not a must have thing for them, the most important thing for the company today I gauruntee you if you were inside the company is the Switch successor.
That matters more to Nintendo today than anything else and I would venture to say probably has the majority of the development resources for it. It's not a coincidence that the 3D Mario team, the Mario Kart team, all these major teams at Nintendo have been deathly quiet the last 3 years or doing small scale tasks, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what they are working on.
