| Soundwave said: 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. |
They don't care about LTD but they care about the long run which is the point being made here LTD sales is not even mentioned here notice how instead it's more about taking advantage of the safety net they have to have a smoother less pressured transition into the next platform, LTD don't matter at this point because it will get to its milestone mark regardless what does matter is the fact that the momentum from these sales is an indicator of the market towards the product which is still going blow for blow each week with two newer platforms this gives a clearer picture in how realistic the need to replace it quickly really is.
Being quiet for 3 years doesn't debunk what is being put forward because it just means they'll be quiet for an extra year and in the mean time we have some releases to tie us over not to mention some of the major teams have recently released software such as TOTK, XBC3, Pikmin (upcoming) etc... it's not like it's a drought and the is complete silence.
