Quest For Glory II posted:eh then we'd never get games like Wonderful 101 because that's "too risky" You make some good points here, but at some point even a behemoth like Nintendo has to face facts if things aren't going their way. How many more failed consoles after the WiiU until they either start to focus on software only or they cut off their nose to spite their face and pivot into the pachinko market or something.

lol nintendo delaying NX for more VR bullshit is a death knell, especially if Miyamoto has anything to do with it. his insistence that poo poo lately needs a gimmick to justify it hosed up the sales of Star Fox and was the reason we never got another F-Zero.

Miyamoto has little to do with the NX, so you'll have to look for someone else to blame. If the NX however doesn't have any gyro controls, Nintendo would be dead to me.

How many more failed consoles after the WiiU until they either start to focus on software only or they cut off their nose to spite their face and pivot into the pachinko market or something. The 3DS isn't selling on par with the DS or even the GBA thanks to mobile phones but it's still got the largest install base of any platform this generation. By the time it's finished production it should top out at 10th all time among all platforms. I feel like as long as Nintendo can keep getting themselves back into the black or at least minimizing their losses, they can kind of do whatever they want. Amiibo, iOS app sales, licensing of movies and merchandise, etc., will probably help balance things out for them and allow them to keep doing their thing. The next handheld might only sell 40m units or something like that, if you assume the continued growth of mobile phones (I'm actually on the fence about assuming that TBH), but if it's profitable to Nintendo, they might be fine with that? Especially if NX is a dual-platform, they might just combine the sales of the console and handheld for their purposes. I also don't think Nintendo or its investors have the same expectations that consumers do but maybe that's because I read that one investor Q&A where the one investor stood up and said "all of you are sycophants, none of you will criticize Nintendo!" and all the other investors were like "shut up, anyway Iwata, will there be Mario bread? I want Mario bread." If Nintendo isnt hemorrhaging money I don't think they care about being in third place.

I hope nx is hybrid handheld/console so that it gets 1st party games non stop from all their studios all in one place. Splitting their attention to two platforms kills the momentum of their systems

Thumb nub, extra set of triggers for certain games (any of the ones that one have previously used the Circle Pad Pro, most significant one is MH4) faster downloading and menu response; biggest deal is probably the eye-tracking 3D effect which makes a huge difference
