Guess I can see how you'd interpret his post that way, but I doubt that's what he means. |
Here's my original post :
"Let's not get that far plz. I wanna see the existing stuff we're gonna get for the next year and half first before crying for new stuff like any spoiled child would."
This guy shouldn't get so overreactive over my point of view. I think it's just important to think in the shorter terms when it comes to games announced into a window cuz otherwise you're left with promises that in some cases are left unfullfiled and leave a bad impression on future presentations, case in point Microsoft/Sony's E3 2014/2015 conferences.
Also I'm not the guy who searchs for promises to fullfill my reasonning behind the early purchase of a console.
And ... he's making it seems like it's necessary for a console maker to promise games far into the future to make a console sells gangbuster, which ain't true when you got the Switch selling crazy on "promises" from a window of 1 year only.
Ultimately, it's fine if he thinks this is necessary to ensure the sells of a console. I just don't think alike him.

How am I overreactive? You threw out words like crying and spoiled child which would only provoke a response. I stated a fact about how Sony started strong this gen, basically on a promise of great games. I am talking from a business perspective not my own personal taste in Nintendo games.
We already know whats coming in the short term from Nintendo. That is also to be expected and not really a big surprise as games liek Smash, Mario Tennis etc come every generation. To sell hardware to non Nintendo fans they need to show a strong future. If I am a regular joe citizen looking at what's coming, Nintendo's console is not very attractive as an impulse buy.
The Switch may have started strong because of the Nintendo fans, but so did the Wii. A bright future keeps momentum in sales. At one stage Wii was pacing to get to 150 million, there was no bright future after a few years so momentum died.
