Yeah the next CoD will be great and no doubt set the world on fire but what about the other 200M or so that didnt buy it.

Looking at what casuals did to the 360 late in it's life is all the more reason Id rather it didn't come to next gen. You wind up with shovelware crap.

That 'shovelware crap' is exactly what 3rd parties for the most part are, not just 3rd parties either. Like moths to the flame they tried to copy/challenge Nintendo in their newly created motion control domain and got burnt.....seriously burnt in Microsofts case. MS was led down a path that has cost them billions, Sony bailed out early. 

Yeah and it's coming back, when these VR headsets land every tom dick and harry will want one. And lots of crappy games will come out again -.-


They should just give the tech to Nintendo, free.

It's wasted on Sony, Facebook, MS and Google.

Unlikely. VR fits into traditional gaming experiences fairly well (especially considering first-person games are currently so big), whilst more niche genres should get a boost (e.g. flight sim, space sim).

The problem with VR is the hardware isn't quite there yet and the game's are still too few (the opposite problem to an abundance of shovelware). A poor game in VR is also more likely to lead to problems with the user feeling ill.

No clue. The follow up comments seem to suggest something like "Nintendo had it right in the early days of the Wii". The OP is preaching that Nintendo made market expanding games, creative experiences and then stopped. Not sure what the messege here is, though.
