I mean isn't that just the GameCube? So how about this scenario? What if it was just the Wii U and no 3DS? All the resources spent on the 3DS go to the Wii U. Do you think the Wii U would have sold as much as the 3DS? Or would it have sold the same? I feel like one of the reasons why the Switch is such a success is because there's only 1 platform from Nintendo. Perhaps the Wii U would have done better without the 3DS. Although I believe it would be worse for Nintendo overall without the 3DS. |
Wouldnt say so. The GameCube: - released at a time where the PS2s integrated DVD player was a major USP
- once again screwed developers by using low capacity mini dvds
- is the successor of a (comparatively) "flopped" system
- released after the PS2
The WiiU - released when a DVD/BlueRay player wasnt a USP anymore
- supported standard discs
- is the successor of a successful system
- released before the PS4
My conclusion: The hypothetical "playstation WiiUs" life cycle would have probably played out similar to the XB360s |
I agree
People saying it would sell less than Wii U confuses me
If the system have the same capabilities as Xbox it would likely get the same third party support as Xbox, which means it would get the third party player crowd
Many of the games and system sellers on Switch would end on Wii U instead
Would it sell nearly as close as Switch? Of course not, but it would sell much better than Wii U, probably close to XBOX One current sales
