You have a point if this were a PS or MS console, but it's a Nintendo console. A lot of the owners of Nintendo consoles don't play games on the other consoles. So the kids who grew up playing pokemon can now have a go at skyrim. It was the same thing for Wind Waker HD. Some of us played it 10 years ago, it didn't stop the game from selling in the millions. Also, the fact that Nintendo gets some western rpgs is a good thing, even if the game is old, because Nintendo hasn't really enjoyed those games yet. It is a good start and it could lead to believing Nintendo might get the newer games also when they are available. |
This logic doesn't make sense. New games would require sufficient hardware power. If it does have enough power it will get many PS4 and XB1 games not all as its a handheld, but if it doesn't have enough power developers wouldn't be able to port their games.
As you said it will sell to existing Nintendo fans but there is less reason for anyone else to buy old games on it unless they want it on a portable. That's something I personally do want, but not Skyrim :P
