| JackHandy said: So many people will claim it's less risky launching with almost the same exact design/name... but I claim otherwise. I don't think you could get much riskier. The three times Nintendo dominated the industry (NES, Wii and Switch) were when they shook things up. The four times they did all right, failed, or outright bombed, they played it safe (SNES, N64, Gamecube and Wii-U). So if the Switch 2 does indeed launch as this leak is stating it will, and it dominates, it'll be a first for the Big-N. Curious to see how all this unfolds. |
I totally agree, and I’ve been saying for years now I think playing it so “safe” like this could backfire in a huge way for them. Nintendo isn’t Nintendo because they played safe. With the exception of maybe the GBA (which is their “safest” hit console), all of their real successes were doing something very different and new at the time.
