| JWeinCom said: Sure it's a risk, but I think you have to have something new to entice people, and I don't think better graphics will be enough when visuals were not a major selling point to begin with for the Switch. Plenty of people will have had enough fun with the Switch to upgrade, especially if the games are good, but I think something new would be needed to maintain or eclipse the current level of success. |
Sony has being able to keep similar levels of sucess of 3 decades now just releasing the same console with better hardware
People don't keep playing in the same hardware for years after it stop getting software support. At least not customers who play more than two or three games per console. Even those who only buy Nintendo for Pokémon and Animal Crossing will keep buying as long their next installments keep getting released on Switch 2
Sure they might not sell as much as 150 million again, but is this necessary? I'm sure they can move easily 100 million units again just with a new more powerful Switch without taking any major risks.
Having a weird gimmick in other hand can be detrimental if the gimmick in question is not good. Wii U and 3DS come to mind.
This is a no-brainer. Release a more powerful console, call it Switch 2, make it backward compatible, unify your digital store and show trailers of new 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Pokémon, Metroid, Animal Crossing and Smash as games coming for the next 3 years and booom, another 100 million plus seller confirmed
